Oops. I am sorry not sure how I missed this post.
The two copies of ControlSet, to my knowledge should be a backup copy which
Last Known Good configuration recovery option uses. This is the only thing
that would backup a copy of sucessfully started configuration settings so
that it can be used later when you experience problems starting the computer.
So deleting this key would not be good idea.
The current key used should be Controlset001 anyway.
