Does a huge registry effect computer speed?
Hi,
Do you think a huge registry (62MB when saved in a .reg file (exported)) would affect the performance of the computer? Like the speed at start-up? Thanks.

An exported Registry will not affect performance.
What size is the Registry itself? ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.performance, "Yizhou" wrote: Hi, Do you think a huge registry (62MB when saved in a .reg file (exported)) would affect the performance of the computer?

I reckon the registry will probably be pretty big since when it was exported
it was big. When programs uninstall, I heard that they may keep their registry keys left behind which means the registry is bigger but when I ran some maintenance programs (e.g. TweakAll), they didn't detect any unnecessary keys. Suppose the computer is a bit old (Cyrix 6x86 - 233mhz with 160MB RAM) "Alan Edwards" wrote in message ... An exported Registry will not affect performance.
