I was wondering if it was possible to access the following registry key in C# on a 64 bit pc.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
When accessing on a 32bit pc it works fine but on 64 it re - directs it to the native 64bit path of HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node which has different keys. I have looked through various articles on this but can't really find a definite answer on how to access the 32bit key in a 64bit pc in C#. Thanks.

C programming language is a machine-independent programming language that is mainly used to create many types of applications and operating systems such as Windows, and other complicated programs such as the Oracle database, Git, Python interpreter, and games and is considered a programming foundation in the process of ...
In the real sense it has no meaning or full form. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T bell Lab. First, they used to call it as B language then later they made some improvement into it and renamed it as C and its superscript as C++ which was invented by Dr. Stroustroupe.
C is a general-purpose language that most programmers learn before moving on to more complex languages. From Unix and Windows to Tic Tac Toe and Photoshop, several of the most commonly used applications today have been built on C. It is easy to learn because: A simple syntax with only 32 keywords.
C is more difficult to learn than JavaScript, but it's a valuable skill to have because most programming languages are actually implemented in C. This is because C is a “machine-level” language. So learning it will teach you how a computer works and will actually make learning new languages in the future easier.
If you are targetting the .Net Framework version 4.0 or above then you can do this by passing the RegistryView.Registry32 value when opening the desired registry key.
If you are targetting a previous version of the .Net Framework then you need to use P/Invoke to call RegOpenKeyEx directly yourself allowing you to pass the KEY_WOW64_32KEY flag.
There is a guide here that goes into more detail:
