If you look at this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184802/EN-US/
you'll see a description of a registry setting that can be used to adjust
the desktop heap sizes.
There is a field with 3 defined values,
SharedSection=1024,3072,512and all the XP Pro systems that I have examined
have that field. But, if I look at any XPe system the field has 4 values,
SharedSection=1024,3072,512,512and I can't find any definition of the fourth
value. I suspect that this is an XPe bug or feature. I'm thinking bug
because the third value is optional and XPe might be adding ',512' to the
end of the field assuming that the third value won't be present. I'm
thinking feature because these values define the shared, interactive, and
non-interactive desktop heap sizes, and maybe there is a fourth desktop heap
in XPe.
This is truely an arcane question, but maybe someone has the answer.
Certainly, adjusting the desktop heap sizes isn't an odd thing to do. There
are lots of articles describing how to do it. It was surprising, however,
to see the fourth field in the XPe registry. I'd like to find out what's
going on.
