@JPM: I tested it on Vista, 64-bit, it works.

As for 64-bit, due to how registry works in 64-bit OS (there are different branches depending on whether you’re using 64-bit regedit or 32-bit regedit), you need to import it carefully. Can’t remember from the top of my head, but have a look at my other post about Sitebar. The method to run the “correct” regedit would be similar…

Forgot to mention 64 bit

copy putty.exe %windir%\SysWOW64

it’s working!

Great enhancement but unfortunately the registry changes don’t seem to work in Windows 2008 R2 (maybe vista too but haven’t tested)

@Schubi: No, I’m not planning that, as that already works – at least with FF 3.5?

@Mike: That’s because you’re likely to have a private key loaded in memory through pagent.exe – so putty.exe tries to authenticate with that key first. If it bothers you, create a profile for your 123.45.67.89 and check the box to authenticate using the usernames only.

Worked like a charm, you rule very much.
