Ok, I manually added a library in preferences/startup (which worked after restarting pd) and searched for it in the registry, thus figuring out that the startup settings are being saved to and loaded from:
HKEY_USERS(some_long_id)\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PD
So:
- Is it an error in the .reg file that stores the settings in a
location different from that actually used by pd, or is it Vista that uses a different location than XP? or is it some setting in Windows that the user can change (obviously for all programs but I wouldn't mind)?
- My other question remains that is: how can I have a PD extended and a
PD Vanilla on the same computer?

Post the log from your Pd window.
You mean the messages that are printed at startup? There are only these ones:
[import] $Revision: 1.2 $ [import] is still in development, the interface could change! compiled against Pd version 0.41.4
Indeed, [import] does load, while it does not (obviously and expectedly) when I run pd-vanilla (I have a separate folder with pd-vanilla).
I have also deleted and re-installed pd extended, this time in c:\Progra Files\pd, while before it was installed in d:\programmi\pd_extended, but this has not changed anything (i didn't expect it to).
Your preferences aren't set to the default because its not trying to load the libraries. [import] is compiled into Pd-extended, that's why its loaded. The default prefs are included in that .reg file in Program Files\Pd. FYI, It doesn't need to be in English since it uses the %ProgramFiles% env var, which on Italian would be set to \programmi.
