I think this has probably been asked before but I can't find it. 
Most apps that store HKU store it in a key that's numbers change on different computers and users.
Is it possible to use a star * to identify the numbers with the registry plugin? Is there another way?

Use HKCU instead, the random numbers in HKU\[numbers] are the unique identifier for the currently logged in user

Ignore it?
no, use
HKCUinstead ofHKU\random numbersi.e.
HKU\12345\Software\RoflbecomesHKCU\Software\RoflBut there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
It's the same key in both places. HKCU allows you to view the appropriate key within HKU automatically. You can effectively ignore HKU except for apps that alter things within other user IDs.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
The issue is Regshot only reports the HKU keys, not HKCU, so I was suggesting he use HKCU in his launcher instead of HKU/[numbers]. Also, HKU/[numbers] is specific to the currently logged in user and will not exist on other systems, therefore rendering the app no longer portable.

That makes sense....
