:Observation: Incorrect registry entries for the Git Bash and Git Gui

Likely Cause: the registry entries do not update when updating Git

How to reproduce:
1. install git as a personal level user; git goes to c:\apps
2. Change user level to admin;
3. Update git; git files move to c:\program files;
4. Try git bash or git gui from the File Explorer context menu; both fail.

How was this discovered:
Having had some issues with android emulation for visual studio, I
changed my user account from personal to admin.  When updating, Git
got installed under ‘c:\Program Files‘ instead of c:\apps. Yet, the
command lines for Git Bash and Git Gui as recorded in the registry
were still pointing to the c:\apps folder causing the explorer context
menu shortcut to fail.

Workaround: edit the register changing ‘c:\apps’ to ‘c:\program files’
