About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about key recognition focus on issues where registry keys under HKLM\Software are not identified in 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Users report that scripts or applications that search for specific registry keys and values work correctly on 32-bit systems but fail on 64-bit systems.
