Just working on the basis of the install I have (version 0.54) installed
using the installer. I have a registrey key under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SimonTatham/PuTTY

In there there are two keys, Sessions (with a key containing multiple
entries for the session config - and by multiple I mean around 175ish)
and SshHostKeys (with the keys for all the hosts I connect to. I have
around 12 Sessions stored and 16 Hosts.

Not saying it couldn't be run without the need of the registry, and I
suspect that it wouldn't be storing the info if I wasn't saving the
various configurations I have for the machines I connect to.
