Description
It could be an enhancement to QSettings to support more registry types which are correctly mapped in the QVariant. Qt should map REG_BINARY to QByteArray and REG_MULTI_SZ to a QStringList.

We can't fix this until Qt 5, because REG_BINARY is currently read by QSettings as a utf-16 encoded QString. REG_MULTI_SZ is read as a list of QStrings. Changing this would break existing applications.
