Keep in mind that the registry is a database and removing several dozen or
even several hundred entries will not likely make a huge difference in the
file size of user.dat and system.dat.  When items are deleted from the
registry they are marked to not be read as opposed to being removed and new
items are simply added to the end, which is why scanreg used with the /fix
and /opt switches will trim the size (rebuilding registry without dead
entries and compacting)

You could use regedit.exe to manually remove bad entries but if they're not
causing problems I doubt the return is worth any risks.  Whatever you do,
make extra registry backups before experimenting too much.

Upgrade IMMEDIATELY to LW 3.0 !!! Also get latest May drivers for SB LIVE!
from Creative's WWW site. If you don't need many of the junk in there, JSUT
install the Mixer and essential files... I'd suggest you to keep out all
Lauchers, samples, toys of any kind... JUST the essential... uninstall LW2.0
frist, and remove any "trace" of previous SB LIVE drivers/data.

CheErioS!

I have Liveware 3.0
In the registry is the biggest part the key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Creative Tech\Devcon\ConfigSets
There are the presets for 2speaker/4speaker/surround/headphones
saved.
Ypu can save a snapshot of this part and delete the unneccessary 3
trees out of 4.
You will save around 1 Megbyte (exported .reg-file will be around 3
MB)

The much bigger part of the liveware3 is the trash which will be
installed in the "Program Files". After cleaning up all demos, zipping
all registry files (*.sea and *.reg) and removing the
"Update-&registration-trash" my complete (!!) Liveware 3.0 is only
40MB - that's ok for me.
