I am performing a search on the entire registry. Why only HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_USERS get searched and not the other rootkeys ?
All other registry rootkeys (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT etc) are actually subkeys of either HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_USERS. This means that if all rootkeys would get searched, matches would be reported multiple times. I performed a registry backup or defragmentation and I received the following message: Error: insufficient system resources The problem appears occasionally and the cause is deep inside the registry interfaces of the Windows kernel which means it is beyond our possibilities to provide a solution for this. I am running an older version of Windows and I received the following message while operating the program: Windows – Low on Registry Space. Your maximum registry size is too small. To increase your registry size, open Help, find “registrysize” I notice that every time I open a registry key for editing, new keys are created and my registry seems to be growing When using the feature to edit registry files on disk, temporary registry space is used to store the contents of the file
