XP Registry Sizes

[Darren Wilson]

I just backed up my Registry for the main system here at home and was a little surprised to see the backup file at nearly 41Mb in size!!! I know that under NT you can limit the size of the registry to a certain size, but does anyone know of such a function under XP?

I'm assuming that you could enforce one with a policy if you wanted to but, as far as your local machine, no.

Oh well, I suppose I can live with the 4Mb Hive maximum.
