Registry settings are not kept after system cloning is done

I have a quick question. I am running XP Embedded OS. OS
configuration in TD has only one account (Administrator). It also has
EWF and System Cloning. EWF is disabled according with MSDN guidlines
on Using EWF with Cloning. I am also running custom Shell which has
simple button that invokes commnad line. It serves simple purpose,
once system cloning is performed, that master image then deployed to a
target machine. After first boot, commnad line is invoked and
creation of EWF partition is done via commnad line (rundll32
ewfdll.dll ConfigureEwf).

The problem is after system cloning is done, image is deployed to a
target machine and upon boot custom shel is not invoked.

I ran clonning with following commnad: Fbreseal.exe -autologon -
keepuser
My understanding that -keepuser switch will keep all configurations
for the account from which this command was run. I have did lots of
tweaks in registry (like custom wallpaper, default reply, disable
ballon and so on).
Then why it did not kept all custom shell registry settings.
One Important thing is that custom shell is not component and not in
TD. I import registry setting in post fba image but before system
cloning is done.

Thank you in advance

Sorry i forgot to mention that since i chnged settings in registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\Winlogon]
"Shell"="C:\\windows\\system32\\customshell.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\Winlogon]
"Shell"="C:\\windows\\system32\\customshell.exe"
I just get blue screen, meaning that even explorer is not loading.
I also disable all buttons (except logoff and shutdown) in Windows
security, so ctrl-alt-del does not help.
I have PostFBA but pre fbreseal image, so i can go back and reclone
the image, but i must be doing something wrong.
