The only one instance of RSHUT PRO can be running at a moment
(except when RSHUT PRO is run with command line options to execute an action).

Add a special registry key "RegistryPath"

that key in registry.dup file in order it can be used by RSHUT PRO).
This will mean that RSHUT PRO will read and write all settings in
"Software\\policies\\RSHUT Pro" subpath in registry. Please notice double
backslash in the path.
