With admin rights, whichever works.
With no admin rights, regtool is the only to access any registry keys.

1) Why with no admin rights, ls /proc/registry doesn't map all the keys?
After all, the goal is just to read only
2) Is there a way to have access to any registry keys without admin rights
and without using regtool?
