    Hey all. If you backup your entire registry- how big is the backup file? I am interested in knowing if a clean install makes for a much smaller registry. Give your registry size, clean install status, and operating system below!

    registry: 137 mb
    clean install: no
    system: vista home premium 32 bit on dell 1520
