ControlSet001 = Set of boot information used to boot the system.

ControlSet002 = Set of boot information used for "Last Known
Good" configuration.

CurrentControlSet = Maps to either 001 or 002 above, depending
on how the system was booted. All edits should be done to this set,
as doing so will assure you're modifying whichever control set is
currently in force.

Thanks a million.

Looking in;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
you'll find the D-Word values for
"Current"=dword:00000001
"Default"=dword:00000001
"Failed"=dword:00000000
"LastKnownGood"=dword:00000002

CurrentControlSet is volatile and will always be an image (at boot) of
what's defined in ControlSetx where x = the value of "Current"

Choosing last known good boots the system with the control set that last
successfully booted your system. Control sets contain system configuration
information such as device drivers and services.
