Oh please, if you ever dealt with windows registry then you know it's a totally disfunctional way to keep record of anything.
Yes, I deal a lot with windows registry. In fact, I usually edit it directly to bypass standard program removal and service management.
Over time it gets oversized, filled with crap, slow and totally impractical, in one word: bloated, and please, while windows may implement one or two good ideas the underlying infraestructure is as much messy as is it's registry.
The problem is not with the registry itself, but bad programming. Most software devs under windows have very little understanding of the registry. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
