    Changing Registry Size in XP

    With Win2k there is a place, in the Virtual Memory Settings dialog box, to change the Maximum Registry size.

    HOW TO DOWNLOAD MORE THAN 2 FILES

    I agree with the regedit.... while there are indeed a number of download managers out there - a lot of them will (unless you're very careful during the install - and read all the fine print) load some rather unwanted "peripheral" items....
