I was looking at http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8.0/source/browser/components/shell/src/nsWindowsShellService.cpp#821 and saw that nsWindowsShellService::OpenApplication uses HKEY_CURRENT_USER to find the location of some programs.  I was thinking that if such programs can't be found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER it should check HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE.  It would make this function a lot more useful.
