Hi,

I have been doing some testing and noticed that the registry on the test 
Terminal Services box was growing.

After doing a search through the registry I noticed a large amount of temp 
directories listed in:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib 

After a bit of digging , I noticed this TechNet article which covered my issue.

"When Windows loads the desktop, it scans the Windows registry. If the TypeLib 
key (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib) in the Windows registry is inflated, it appears 
to slow down or stop Windows while the registry is scanned"

I always use Pagedefrag ( sysinternals.com ) and then Ghost to refresh the 
servers once in a while .That's probably why I have never seen the issue before.

Has anyone else been caught by this ? Im wondering whether this is fixed with 
Office XP as well.

regards
