For HKey_Class_Root\CLSID
I found the equivalent to be HKey_Current_User\Software\Classes\CLSID
but looking in the registry I didn't see "Record" in the same location.
how about
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes?
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes
What you see in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT actually is a merge of these two keys (and it depends on your permissions in which of these two branch new entries made under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT will be created).
