How much info will the Registry hold? With a 9 Gig HD on my personal system, if every application that I install used the Registry, would it fill up, get slow, etc? I know that when I install VB, there are tons of entries to the Registry. I think I remember trying to install some app and was told that I needed to remove some entries from the Registry. I am getting old and my memory isn't what it once was. I THINK, I had both VFP & VB 5.0 installed on the system and was trying to install Visual Studio 6.0. Does this make sense?

There is file here on UT called iniloader (or something close) that MAY have been written by George Tasker. I dl'ed it, but I ended up writing a Delphi App and calling it from VFP to display the info I wanted from the INI file. I did not need to read an INI file and use an item in it to make my VFP app work properly.
