The correct logic should be, when an entry is added to the registry by anyone, it should be propergated to all user virtualized registry stores.

Remember it was an update to HKLM not HKCU and it is global to the machine, not the user.

MS do have problems with basic logic, that is why there are so many "It is that way by design"'s

>Each user has their own virtualized store. When you run RegEdit, you run as an Administrator, thus the actual registry is updated. But when read, the user's virtualized registry will be read.
