What is the recommended "Registry Size", cuase my client
are often
receiving error message that their profile cannot be
loaded due to
registry size.

I alway set the max size to 100 or 120.

The profile is loaded into the registry when a user logges on. If your using
roaming profiles, they can sometimes get quite large. If the keys are not
properly deleted it can cause issues. This was a very big problem in NT 4
TS.

Keys like the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers would
just keep getting bigger.

It would take some more information to really troubleshoot this problem.
Upgrades, sidHistories, profile types etc all play a role. If this only
happens to certain users, look for corrupt or larger than normal profiles.
