Top stuff Alan, Ive been looking for that script since i replied to the original post. Many thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hutchinson, Alan" <Alan.Hutchinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 2:57 PM Subject: [THIN] Re: Reduce size of default registry hive Neil, Can't remember if the list is accepting attachments these days, but I'll try anyway. As you'll see from this, most of it came from the list - I just added some rudimentary notes for my future benefit. I'm not a VB scripter, but did manage to find my way through this. To actually delete any keys there are four lines to be uncommented - it should be pretty obvious which they are. Regards, Alan. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Braebaum, Neil Sent: 21 September 2005 12:12 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Reduce size of default registry hive > -----Original Message----- > From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hutchinson, Alan > Sent: 21 September 2005 11:11 > To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [THIN] Re: Reduce size of default registry hive > > Not necessarily just Office - we had two servers running just > a financial package and Excel.

Alan I'd be interested in what you did.
