Another way to speed up the registry is to use my program RegCompact.NET
which compacts and optimizes the WinXP registry hives without changing
the registry data. It does this by eliminating "holes" in the files that
contain the registry which are caused by data being constantly added and
removed from the registry. Check it out the free trial at:

On a typical system that has been in use for a while it can sometimes
reduce the size of the registry by half. Savings are greatest when a lot
of programs have been installed and uninstalled, or when the registry
has just been cleaned by a program such as Microsoft's RegClean. I hope
you find my program useful.
