Upon installation, Hugin registers its file type (.pto). I found
references in 3 places:
- hkey_classes_root
- hkey_local_machine\software\classes
- hkey_current_user\software\classes

The first and the second are system-wide and thus require elevation or
administrative rights to add/modify. The last option does not require
this. Why are the references found in 3 places?

Besides the file type registration, Hugin stores its settings in
hkey_current_user\software\hugin. This does not require special
rights, but prevents Hugin to run entirely portable (e.g., without
leaving traces or even depending on registry-based settings).

If the settings could be moved to a .ini-file, and file associations
are abandoned, I guess Hugin could run from a stick. This could be
added as an option during installing for versions to come, but
currently, it does not work like that unfortunately.
