[Qgis-user] QGIS and Windows Registry

[Werner Macho]

I can only confirm the second part ..

In my Windows install there is a
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QuantumGIS\QGIS
section ..

If theres a difference between OsGeo4w and native - i dont know - but to 
be honest - I assume there is NO difference. For me that would not make 
any sense.
