HKCU:
%userprofile%/NTUSER.DAT
HKCU\Software\Classes (file associations) are in a separate file:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat
%localappdata% is an environment variable in w8 and maybe earlier,
and corresponds to the registry value
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\
\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Local AppData
and may have the value
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data
or
%userprofile%\AppData\Local
HKLM:
%SystemRoot%/System32/config/system
for the system hive
%SystemRoot%/System32/config/software
for the software hive
and other extension-less files in the same directory
