Registry Path for HK_LM:Run Global (64-bit) is shown same as HK_LM:Run Global (32-bit) as:
HK_LM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
when it should be:
HK_LM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
When you right-click and select Jump-to-key it opens the wrong place in Regedit. :sad:

when 32-bit location on a 64-bit version of windows should be:
HK_LM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
When you right-click and select Jump-to-key it only shows the 32-bit values because it appears to load the 32-bit version of regedit rather than the 64-bit version. :sad:

And if you have the 64-bit version of regedit open, then jump-to-key doesn't work at all.
Hello,
thanks for reporting this issue. I will write a bug ticket for our development team. Do you have a more detailed 'Autorun' example?
Tested the 'Jump to location' feature on Win 8.1-64 Bit with our latest beta version (Startup Tools 2.3.36.157):
The Registry Editors 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regedit.exe' and 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regedit32.exe'. jump both to a registry key, if opened prior to Startup Tools.
Kind regards,
roberto.

Exactly!!
You need to use C:\Windows\regedit.exe to be able to see 64-bit registry entries - I suspect that if you have this loaded then Spybot tries to load the SysWOW64 version (which displays only 32-bit registry entries) but it doesn't load because the 64-bit version is running.
Basically, Spybot should only ever load C:\Windows\regedit.exe regardless of whether it is a 32- or 64-bit version of Windows.
