Example: Symmetric Key and Key Section

This example shows the use of the SymmetricKeys section and the key_section to specify keys and their associated parameters. In this example the hrkey has been deactivated, as specified by the Deactivate=Y attribute, and a new key has been added to replace it, hrkey_new.
