+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.
