As already explained to you the policy is documented. Apparently you don't want to read the documentation and/or the applicable articles on Metalink.

One pointer: Oracle determines the Oracle_home directory from the full file name. Then it reads the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\oracle.key file, which has the appropiate registry branch.
If a string value doesn't exist in the appropiate branche it uses hklm\software\oracle.

There is nothing mysterious to it, rather than hacking around you should read the doco, as always.
