HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasses vs HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
In Microsoft's documentation, I found the following paragraph
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasses key corresponds to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key, which was retained for compatibility with earlier versions of COM.
Now, I am not sure which key the which in that paragraph refers to: the HKLMSOFTWAREClasses or the HKCU key.
I'd appreciate if someone could clarify.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT(HKCR) is exact copy ofHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasses. Another isHKEY_CURRENT_USER(HKCU) although there is (different)HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClasses.
