language changes.

I don't think it's a problem. One Windows LastKey is localized too, meaning it
saves a string that represents My Computer root key. If you have MUI Windows
installation you can try to see if it breaks on UI language switch.

Path to check is:

---
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\LastKey
---

So far I don't think there's anything to fix.

Could you give more info? I.e., what key did you select before, which language
were you running then switched to, and what key did it select on next start?

With my default system language (LANG=de_DE.UTF-8) I have opened regedit and
selected the root key (named "My Computer" in english). After this I have
closed regedit, changed LANG to C and opened regedit again. But instead of the
root key being selected its first child key was selected.

I'm trying now to see what happens if I'm changing the language in Windows XP
to english too. But changing the language there seems not to be easy
(installing the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 MUI Pack Update" and setting
anything to english seems to be not enough. Also on the official language pack
site from Microsoft for Windows XP there is no english language pack listed).

I wasn't able to successfully install/enable an english language pack. But I
have found an alternative way to test this issue because the question here is
what basically happens if
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\LastKey
points to a non-existent registry key. To test this I have opened regedit in
Windows XP, selected any random key, closed regedit and imported the following
file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit]
"LastKey"="test"

After starting regedit again the root key was selected. If I'm opening regedit
with Wine, selecting any random key, closing regedit, manually setting
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\LastKey
in ~/.wine/userdef.reg to "test" and then starting regedit again the first
child key of the root key is selected.

So this issue is about that Windows XP's regedit does default to the root key
while Wine's regedit does default to the first child key of the root key.

What language pack? Why are you installing it?

An english language pack for an out of the box localized Windows XP to do the
test as suggested in comment #1.

The suggestion was to try it on MUI Windows, not to install a language pack
under Wine.

Yes, I see what you mean now. Will take a look.

The language pack was tried to be installed on a native Windows to do the test
and not on Wine^^
This action failed but I found a simpler testcase to achieve the same result.
