Weird registry key name

[Zulgrib]

Hello, it's nice to save game's setting in the registry on Windows, this is the way to go, but one question : Why the regisrtry keys have weird names ? 

 

For exemple the key "HIDE_OFFSCREEN_POINTERS_h447281198", what is "_h447281198" all about ?

Unity does this to get around the fact that the registry is case-insensitive: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/178022/unity-adds-strange-number-to-registry-entries.html

Okay, so it means the hash won't change over time or depends on a specific installation on a specific machine, right ? Will always be the same ?

 

Thanks for the quick replay BMac, that's really appreciated.
