[issue6310] Windows "App Paths" key is not checked when installed for current user

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

I found that if Python installed only for current user on Windows XP
Home Edition SP3 Python fails to run from Start -> Run dialog or using
ShellExecute() call. It is because it creates "App Paths" key in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\Python.exe
and not in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\Python.exe

Can anybody confirm this?
