[webkit-dev] Directory for Safari 3 for Windows plugins that isn't in Program Files?

[MILIANO Vitorio]

I've filed it in both Apple Radar (5430584) and WebKit Bugzilla (15053).
Quickly poking through Trac, addPluginsFromRegistry() in
PluginDatabaseWin.cpp looks to be the culprit; it's definitely only
looking at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Thanks,
Vitorio Miliano
