SYMPTOMS
In System Monitor, the &quot;% Registry Quota in Use&quot; counter under the System object is not applicable on a Windows XP computer, and the value that is reported is not the actual percentage of the registry quota that is currently in use.



CAUSE
Windows XP does not have a limit on the size of the registry. This counter has been left in Windows XP to maintain backwards compatibility.
