In some programs, if you see a Registry key pathname, it will be abbreviated like this:
Full Name: HKEY_Local_MachineSystemCurrentControlSetKeyboard Layouts
Abbreviation: HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetKeyboard Layouts

Example 2:
Full Name: HKEY_Current_UserSoftwareCurrentVersionMicrosoft
Abbreviation: HKCUSoftwareCurrentVersionMicrosoft
