He doesn't really sound pro or con.

So it seems that Registry junk is a Windows fact of life and that Registry cleaners will

continue to have a place in the anal-sysadmin’s tool chest, at least until we’re all running

..NET applications that store their per-user settings in XML files – and then of course we’ll

need XML cleaners.

After being asked about junk being left behind in the registry

slowing down a computer;

No, even if the registry was massively bloated there would be little impact on the performance

of anything other than exhaustive searches.


On Win2K Terminal Server systems, however, there is a limit on the total amount of Registry

data that can be loaded and so large profile hives can limit the number of users that can be

logged on simultaneously.


I haven't and never will implement a Registry cleaner since it's of little practical use on

anything other than Win2K terminal servers and developing one that's both safe and effective

requires a huge amount of application-specific knowledge.
