Default Win7 Registry Size

Also note that in these days of a 1TB drive costing $50 US or so,
273MB is a tiny amount. It's a little more than a penny's worth of
disk space.


But 5 or 10 per cent of the available RAM on smaller systems, so (since
the registry is normally held in RAM), can be relevant in that respect.
(Though there's little you can _do_ about it - certainly a pass with a
"registry cleaner" won't make much difference to the size, and what it
does delete will often come back rapidly, consisting as it does largely
of MRU entries.)
