Bug Description
For Bazaar Explorer we need to get full path of wordpad.exe standard windows editor. To get the full path we need to use get_app_path() function from win32utils.py module. This function uses very naive approach to read data from registry and currently supports only plain strings (REG_SZ data type). Unfortunately wordpad.exe path defined as REG_EXPAND_SZ and on Windows 2000/XP has the value:
"%ProgramFiles%
To get right path the get_app_path() should understand REG_EXPAND_SZ data type.
