location and hive structure are different
overall the registry is pretty similar via tools, Id say 97% of xp tweaks will work on Vista/7

Editing an offline hive in xp you could do thru HKU\their hive, in win 7 you need to load or modify the user.dat from the profile. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago

Biggest differences for me is the uninstall string path. For example:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ --Win7 (64 Bit)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall --XP
Any script you use to check for the existance of a key in here will need to be changed for 7

That would be for x64 and x86. - dugullett 11 years ago
