To be a bit more exact, the "load" operation is *not* the mirror
operation to "save".  In fact, "load" loads a full registry hive of a
user into the registry, and its mirror operation is "unload", which
unloads a user hive from the registry.

The bug here is that "save" has no mirror operation in regtool at all.
It's a bit puzzeling.  There should have been a "restore" operation but
nobody ever implemented it.
