Hi,
On Windows 2000, it is common for an installation utility to check the current and maximum size of the registry to determine whether there is enough available space for the new data it will be adding. This sample demonstrates how to do this programmatically using the "% Registry Quota In Use" performance counter within the System object.
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.
