If you restore the control files, then you can't apply the archive logs. (That's to the best of my knowledge) I have, however, used cold backups as the basis for recovering databases running in archive log mode. The process I used was always to restore the datafiles and issue the recover command.
You also don't want to restore the online redo logs. I did that once by mistake during a practice recovery. Fortunately it was practice on a test instance<grin>.
