Windows и репозитории

Вопрос с ключиками вроде HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\ оказывается не одного меня мучал... :-\
Вот тут поразобрались уже:

Цитата:My {5E6AB780-7743-11CF-A12B-00AA004AE837} key (5E key) contained less entries than my {75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9} key (75 key). The 5E key had only .url files (files in Internet Explorer's favorites menu) along with other things like UEME_UIHOTKEY, UEME_RUNWMCMD, UEME_UITOOLBAR, and others. It had no other local files and no titles of web pages. The 75 key had much more, including local files, titles of web pages, .url files in favorites, and a few others including UEME_RUNWMCMD.

Both keys had entries for files and URLs that I haven't accessed for years. And it appears that there are entries for things I accessed only when I first installed Windows (like drivers). This could mean that Windows logs this information and never deletes the log data. This bloats the registry, which fragments it, which slows Windows down. It took regedit 10 seconds to load and display all the keys in my 75 key (with a 1200mhz). The 75 key had 18,497 entries! The 5E key had 394 entries.



Цитата:What to do? I just delete those dumb keys at every logon/logoff or manually by executing a script.


UPD. Да, и, разумеется, после удаления раздела HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\ поиск по реестру - ну просто летает (Аналогичный раздел в HKEY_USERS пропадает автоматически). Из других эффектов - на время пропадает скрытие редко используемых пунктов меню Пуск (до тех пор, пока Windows снова не понапишет немного логов Userassist. Вот такой "Большой Брат" наша Windows...
