The registry *can* become file-fragmented, but it's unusual. Typically, Windows creates a large, mostly empty registry file when you install it. Unless you have an unusually large registry requirement -- like using it to store CF client variables -- you're likely going to see it grow once at most.
Also, the registry is only read at startup, IIRC, so even if it was spread across the drive like jam on toast, it'd not be a moment-to-moment issue. --Ben Zaphod Beeblebrox wrote: > how can it not?
