Closes GetStringFromRegistry can fail to read from the correct registry location depending on process admin privileges #1059

Imagine the following:

I install the game (e.g. through Steam) for windows user1
I play the game (key is in CURRENT_USER)
I login as user2 in windows
I start the game.

could this be an issue, or is there a key generated for user2 as well?
