Description

When creating registry keys using impacket-reg, the default behavior is to create a registry key that is volatile and as such is deleted upon reboot. This is not specified in the documentation, and limits use of the tooling.

Change

A flag has been introduced to impacket-reg add functionality that when used specifies that the key created is to be volatile. An assumption has been made that users not specifying this flag desires a persistant key to be created. If this assumption is false, then switching the requirement around would be trivial
