This has been brought up several times recently, and I agree to a
certain degree. I have to say a central registry does have its
merits, though. Better designed, it can be easy to manage and
portable, too. And even as it is (which is hard to manage and not
very portable), it still has some advantages. E.g., it's easy to
automate changes with .reg files or scripts, which isn't easy for
INIs.
