Situation: Spybot-S&D displays registry content, both of the active registry as well as registry information stored in inactive files.

Experienced: inactive information can be shown if it is in the form of .reg files; or, if part of a complete Windows installation on another drive, in the form of standard hive files (when started with the /allhives command line parameter).

Expected: add an option to load any hive files the user wants.

Update: we have two choices here; one being to offer the logon of additional users to display their hives in HKEY_USERS, the other being to hard method without a required login, accessing the hive file directly.

Method 1: user logon dialog implemented. Found in file menu now. User list contains all local users.

Method 2: custom hive loading implemented. Customly loaded hives are unloaded on program exit. Free choice of key names.
