QSettings for Windows stores int and uint in windows registry in different formats

QSettings xxx;
DWORD x;
xxx.setValue("a", (int)x); // will store as DWROD (as expected)
xxx.setValue("b", (uint)x); // will store as string ! (not expected)

settings should use REG_DWORD for any integer 32-bit type.
settings should use REG_QWORD for any integer 64-bit type.

not sure about short and char values....
