How can I change the Registry size if I need to, for installation of another program

The Registry contains information about which devices are attached to the computer and which drivers should be used with them. It also keeps track of file associations (which programs should be used to open which type of files) and user preferences, such as what the monitor resolution and Desktop pattern should be. The Registry is contained in the System data and User.data files. Changes to the Registry are generally made through the Control Panel, not by users directly editing the Registry. Chances are you won’t have to worry about changing the size of your Windows Registry (a database that contains information about user preferences and system configuration). But if you add a lot of software to your WinNT machine, you may need to increase size of your Windows Registry to accommodate all the Registry keys (entries containing the values that define each setting) for your programs. Usually, the Registry is relatively small, about 10MB to 12MB. If there’s not enough room in the Registry to store new Registry keys, you’ll get an error message.

To increase the maximum size of your Registry when using WinNT, open the System Properties dialog box in the Control Panel (click Start, Settings, and Control Panel, then double-click the System icon). Click the Performance tab, then click the Change button in the Virtual Memory section. The Maximum Registry Size (MB) field is at the very bottom of the dialog box. You shouldn’t have to increase it too much to make enough room for new Registry entries. Add about 5MB to 10MB to the current setting and enter the new number in the Maximum Registry Size (MB) field. Click OK and restart your system when Windows prompts you to do so. If you are using WinXP, open the System Properties dialog box in the Control Panel (click Start, Settings, and Control Panel, then double-click the System icon). Click the Advanced tab, then click the Settings button under Performance. In the Performance Options area, click the Advanced tab then click the Change button in the Virtual Memory section. The Maximum Registry Size (MB) field is at the very bottom of the dialog box.

Registry – Where is it and how do I access it

Every version of Windows since Windows 95 has used a Registry, which is essentially a database containing the configuration information for the OS, its peripherals, and any installed software. The Registry is among the first things that Windows loads at startup, and it tells the OS everything from how menus and the Desktop should look and feel, to where all the vital files and programs reside, to which hardware is installed on the system.

The Registry actually includes a series of data files stored in different folders in your Windows subdirectory, all according to which OS version you’re using. For instance, in WinXP Home or Professional, the Registry has six files located in the Config folder at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG. Win98 SE and WinMe have different files in other locations, but in all cases, it’s easier to access the Registry via the Registry Editor.

The Registry Editor, the Regedit.exe program, resides in the Windows subdirectory. But the quickest way to open the Registry Editor is to click Run from the Start menu, type regedit in the field, and press ENTER.

Now that we told you how to open the Registry Editor, we should also warn you that it’s unlike other Windows programs because it saves any changes you make on the fly rather than waiting for you to decide to save your changes. Yes, the Registry Editor will save any changes you make as you make them and apply those changes to the respective files and settings on your system. You cannot negate your edits or deletes simply by bailing out of the program without officially saving anything. This means that any user venturing into the Registry Editor must take special care to track any changes made and protect him or herself by backing up the Registry before tinkering with it.
