In fact it doesn't make sense to mount regf files to anything but HKCU , 
so -K option is not necessary, and HKCU can be hardcoded as mountpoint 
for files specified by -F option.

I found some problems with value deletion, sometimes values are not 
deleted, reg_expand_sz data not correctly saved,  but i'm not sure that 
the problem is in parsing. I'm going to experiment a little bit more.
