Registry keys like C<CurrentControlSet> don't really exist in the
Windows Registry at the level of the hive file, and therefore you
cannot modify these. Replace this with C<ControlSet001>, and

cannot modify these.
C<CurrentControlSet> is usually an alias for C<ControlSet001>. In
some circumstances it might refer to another control set. The way
to find out is to look at the C<HKLM\SYSTEM\Select> key:
# virt-win-reg WindowsGuest 'HKLM\SYSTEM\Select'
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select]
"Current"=dword:00000001
"Default"=dword:00000001
"Failed"=dword:00000000
"LastKnownGood"=dword:00000002
"Default" is the one which Windows will choose when it boots.
Similarly, other C<Current...> keys in the path may need to
be replaced.
