Mine is 19mb,

28MB, and the install was a couple of weeks ago. I have IE6, SP2 (with various hotfixes), Adobe Photoshop 6, Illustrator 9, InDesign 1.5, Pagemaker 7, Acrobat 5, Macromedia Flash 5 and Generator 2 extensions, MS Visual Studio 6 Enterprise Edition (with full MSDN Library install), Bryce 5, Office XP with FrontPage, Quake 3 Arena, SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, Visio 2002 with Network Tools (and MSDE installed for use with network auto-discovery feature), McAfee VirusScan 4.5.1, Trillian, and some other stuff...

 

 

I still have to install Solidworks 2001 (and plugins like CosmosWorks), but I just haven't gotten around to it.

 

edit

Oh, and Adobe GoLive! 5. I don't see why I forgot about it since I was just using it, but oh well.

Man thats huge 8) Clutch.

 

I wasn't really sure of what increments to use in the Poll:

 

I thought my Registry would be big,

 

Apps: Acrobat4(Full Prod.), AOE2, Dreamweaver4, Encarta99, Eudora5, Fireworks3, Homesite4.5, Office2000 Premium ed.(Full Install), MS Access97, Nutscrap4.7, CorelPhotohouse2, Java 2 SDK Ver1.2.2 Stardard Ed., Java 2 SDK Enterprise Ed. Ver1.2, Mcafee 5.21

+ Many Small apps Morpheus, ICQ, Winamp, Winzip, Zonealarm ect..

 

Though they must not be so registry dependant huh?

 

I would say the M$ software would be contributing to the Reg size the most huh, Visio, MSDN ect.. ?

 

Yeah you have to admit it is reassuring running all that under Win2K, It simply wouldn't work in Win9x/ME

 

So what is the registry size of W2K just after a clean install? I probably should've checked that first.

 

You should probably adjust the Poll to properly accomodate for you, I think only you (The Moderator) can do that, right?

Hi Clutch

 

I think were in the same line of work. I see you use Solid Works 2001

I use Catia V5 r4 And Solid Edge V 10 could be using Solid Works soon, what do you think of the software.

 

Thanks

 

Cheers

Solidworks is for our Engineering dept primarily, but I use it to take existing models and tweak them for use in presentations and the like. It works rather well, and you can get a large amount of functionality for a really low price with this parasolid-based app.

Mine is 12Mb on a 3 month old install, about 50 apps installed. I use M$ RegClean 4.1 now and then to clean things up.

19 megs here. I don't use any program that removes anything from the registry, no matter who makes it. I do use a little program called Reg Compact, but it just shrinks your registry if there's free space.

54.1 megs for me! Holy sh!t... it was only 10mb after the reformat in late July!

[Xiven 0]

20 MB exactly here

 

Wow! 54.1 is really huge... 8)

49 Mbytes, I installed in October last year, and occasionally compact the registry hives to trim the thing down a little (I've done it three or four times over the year and it's trimmed about 1 Mbyte each time).

What's the exact methodology for figuring this out?

 

Anyway my winnt\system32\config directory is 57MB -- NTS 4.0 Server originally installed in 98, upgraded along the way to W2K latest and greatest (including VS.NET beta which seems to have lots of registry voodoo.)

[DrPizza 0]

Right Click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Performance Options, Change, and there it is.

[Intlharvester 0]

Doh! Should have known that -- 36MB.
