Cite please.

Oh, and the one I asked about where performance was measured by
cleaning the registry.

In Vista??! XP Pro allowed one to change the registry size.

"To change the maximum size of the computer's registry"

1.
Open Computer Management (Local)

2.
In the console tree, right-click Computer Management (Local), and
then select Properties.

3.
On the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, and under Virtual
memory, click Change.

4.
Under Registry size, type a new registry size in megabytes in the
Maximum Registry Size (MB) box.

5.
You must restart your computer to apply any changes.


Note

• To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control
Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools,
and then double-click Computer Management.

• You must be recognized as an administrator or a member of the
Administrators group on your computer and on the computer you are
managing to perform this task.

• You can view or change system properties on a remote computer or a
local computer To access a remote computer, right-click Computer
Management (Local), click Connect to another computer, and then select
the computer you want to connect to in the list.

• Setting a maximum size for the registry sets an upper limit on how
large the area designated for registry data can become. You might need
to increase the maximum registry size if the amount of registry data
produced by programs exceeds the limit you set under Registry size.

At one time...you had to hunt thru the registry to totally remove
NAV...whether that is still true, I don't know.
I use CC, but I review every key that it is gonna delete...most I can tell
if it is good to remove.
But, unless you are familiar with the structure of the registry, I wouldn't
recommend a general cleaner.

If you have a certain uninstalled program you want to remove traces
of...just F3 thru the registry and delete those keys.
Do a registry backup first.

I clean my registry, yet do it more out of old habits than any speed gain.
Can't say I've ever noticed a difference.

Five years with no issues? You must not be running any programs. Perfect
for Linux.

For some odd reason, today (July 10) I am seeing a lot of posts for the
first time that are dated Jun 29.

I wish your awful pun had remained in that limbo :-)

Be reminded: groaning or complaining about puns *is* a form of praise - or
at least acknowledgment ;-/
