I have entire e-books that are only about a half a meg in size, and those are the large ones. It's hard to believe that all the necessary settings for the Windows OS and any installed programs can't be stored in a file the size of a novel. -- John Corliss BS206. I block all Google Groups posts due to Googlespam, and as many posts from anonymous remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries posted through them. No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited, trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.

Just exported my Vista reg and it's 290 MB (304,160,768 bytes) why on earth is it that size? Could something be wrong with my setup? -- Ken O'Meara http://www.btinternet.com/~unsteadyken/

Thanks Ron, the PC works well, I suppose it's no great size really, I can't get my head round how big files and programs are these days, still thinking in terms of my first HD at 20mb . -- Ken O'Meara http://www.btinternet.com/~unsteadyken/
