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" http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q248658 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
