Interesting ... I used regedit to rename that key
to "myPreferences" and Picasa still fired up.
Try this at a [windowed] command line:
u...@machine:~> cd   /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin
u...@machine:/opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin>  ./wine  regedit

When regedit appears on the screen, navigate to:
hkey_users\S-1-5 4\Software\Google\Picasa\Picasa2

Is there a "Preferences" key? I have two:
Preferences
Runtime

The Preferences key has only one entry in it:
ReportStats      REG_DWORD     0

If you don't have the Preferences key, you can add it:
1) Right-click on "Picasa2" key and select New->Key
2) Type in "Preferences"
3) Click on Preferences and right-click in the right Pane
and select New->DWORD value and type in: ReportStats
4) The default value is 0 ... quit Regedit

See if PIcasa will fire up now.
