[OFF TOPIC]
The registry contains of several hives. Depending on which hive (and what kind of Windows account you have) it is stored as a file on disc in "%blah%\Documents and Settings" and "%systemroot%\system32\config"

On google search with keyword like "registry", "hive", etc


Note that "hives" can mean two things: the registry hive like most people know them (HKCU, HKLM, HKCC, HKCR, etc) or the true hives as stored in Windows (as HKCC, HKCU, HKCR are actually aliasses of a subkey under HKCU or HKLM).

Some examples:
The true hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM is stored in the file:
%systemroot%\system32\config\system

The true hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM is stored in the file:
%systemroot%\system32\config\sam

The true hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY is stored in the file:
%systemroot%\system32\config\security

The true hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE is stored in the file:
%systemroot%\system32\config\software

etc...

The CLSID's used as extensions can be found in the registry (search for them, without the "{" and "}") and there it is specified how Windows should treat those files or directories.

PS: The CLSID for WLM's shared folder is "FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D". So name a directory like "whatever.{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}" and you have an alias for your WLM Shared Folders.
