Hi, David
Thanks for your explanation, but unfortunately that’s exactly what I want to set on the registry, and before that, I need to know the “current size” of the registry - the space consumed by the existing registry. As I read on Windows 2000 Magazine, the safe value to set the maximum registry size limit is twice of current registry size plus 20%. Because by default the PagedPoolSize value approximately equal to the amount of physical memory and RegistrySizeLimit value calculated by approximately 25% of the value of the PagedPoolSize, then in my point of view, that’s not really illustrate on how much space that we want to reserve safely for the registry, because it is possible that current registry size has reached or even greater than 25% of the amount of physical memory approximately. So I think it is more reasonable to set the maximum registry size limit base on current registry size consumed.
The purpose of setting this value is because when I want to do the automation of updating Emergency Repair Disk on WinNT 4.0, it always show me an error that I have run out of registry quota, or for Internet Explorer automate installation, another example.
Thank you again,
Tan
