What is Load Hive Feature in Registry ?

A hive is a logical group of keys, subkeys, and values in the registry that has a set of supporting files containing backups of its data.

Each time a new user logs on to a computer, a new hive is created for that user with a separate file for the user profile. This is called the user profile hive. A user's hive contains specific registry information pertaining to the user's application settings, desktop, environment, network connections, and printers.
