It's not an Outlook Express issue.
Its holds the Windows user profiles.

That holds info on your user profile. I gets larger as you add software.
Don't touch it until you ask someone more experienced with it, preferably in an XP newsgroup. Windows XP General Newsgroup: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...dowsxp.general If you are having problems with Outlook Express, we can help if you provide details. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "AK" wrote in message news:6oExj.54104$yE1.38624@attbi_s21...

AK | The User Registry has NOTHING to do with OE. This is a OS question and 6.4MB for the User Registry is normal. Please don't Multi-Post. Please learn to Cross-Post to pertinent, On Topic News Groups instead. This subject matter is NOT On Topic here. Oh, wait... AOL user.
