When an application tries to write to forbidden parts of the registry,
where are the virtualized registry entries located? I know where the
VistualStore for folders is, but what about the registry entries?

Hello,

The virtualized registry for 32-bit programs is stored here:

HKEY_USERS\%SID%\Software\Classes\VirtualStore
HKCU\Software\Classes\VirtualStore

Internet Explorer virtualizes the registry for itself and components running
inside it to a different location when running in protected mode
(HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\InternetRegistry\REGISTRY\USER\%SID%\Software)
