I'm trying to load a couple of registry .DAT files as Hives under HKLM.
The .DAT files come from a Windows Server 2008 system and I'm trying to locally reproduce some software development issue.
I've tried this in multiple directories (some under directories in C:\Program Files (x86), and under C:\Windows\system32\config).
The .DAT files load fine in Regedit when I run that as an Administrator.
After that, I can read/write the registry keys fine when running the app as Administrator, and from Regedit.
However, the loaded hives do not persist: after a reboot they are not loaded any more.
The odd thing is: no error messages in the EventVwr.exe that seem to be relevant.
Where should I look for errors and causes of this?
And if this is not a bug, how can I force the loading of these hives at boot time?

2That's not a bug; it's the expected behavior. – Aaron Miller – 2013-09-21T16:31:44.837
@AaronMiller any documentation about this? Is there a way to work around it? – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – 2013-09-21T17:32:35.407
1@JeroenWiertPluimers: Your question assumes that there is documentation to support your method. I know of no documentation that says your method is supported. – surfasb – 2013-09-22T02:02:02.460
