And if you're measuring the registry size by the size of an exported .reg files, there is almost nothing more misleading, since there is a huge amount of stuff which is decrypted and expanded in an export - and the export also missing a large chunk of the registry.

2013-04-06T04:12:35+00:00 "We now need regcleaners,"
Did back with 256MB RAM and a 1GB HDD, but not with Win7 on a modern machine.
I have deleted a couple of individual entries, but stopped using registry 'cleaner' after XP.
It's just not necessary to 'clean' the registry, but feel free to do so, if you insist.
Pick any registry cleaner and let it do it's thing. You can use a 'fancy' pay for 'cleaner' or use one
of the many free 'cleaners' (CCLeaner, etc).
They're all pretty much the same.
btw - I imagine you must have a lot of software installed. my registry = 379MB and I have
just under 300 software installed, including things like Visual C++, and other MS stuff, but
over half of the software is games.

2013-04-05T22:06:57+00:00 The regedit.exe export to "computer.reg" is 419,586KB - this is also approx number i see in all Win 7 PC.
Yes - i am sure the registry has garbage - i would like to know how to clean up the registry without have to reinstall the PC.

You try running a graphics interface on an 8080 chip.
I have yet to see a registry of 500MB - the Components hive is usually one of the biggest, and most others are around the 1-5MB mark.
If you do have a 500MB 'registry' then you probably have other problems.

2013-04-05T19:37:50+00:00 I have a pc and registry started as 10MB (i missed a 0) is now 500MB - at this stage i reinstall the machine cause all the garbage in registry and in \system32 etc.
with 1GB registery i assume you can you the registry or the machine !
Same also with your flagship SSRS - uses SQL Server with for reports makes Translogs overs days > giga byte - Why do we need a translog for Reports - I asked MS how to turn it offf - they told me the Guy who wrote SSRS had left - have a look at the Blog ! (2007)
you should have stayed with 8080 !
come down to earth - Win 7 still gives headaches as all windows OS have done (Bill should have left it with Steve).
your c# a ms flagship is not much better then C i used 30 years ago.
We now need regcleaners, CCleaner to clean up IE muck, after upteen updates we have security software from MS - more interested in checking if genuine Windows or not (since Bill offered DOS to IBM at $2.50 per copy - a DOS that he did not own), the list is endless
