You might like to read this article in MSDN:

"Windows 2000 Registry: Latest Features and APIs Provide the 
Power to Customize and Extend Your Apps"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/1100/Registry/default.aspx

Among other suggestions you'll find this general hint: "The 
specification suggests that you use files instead of entries 
when the amount of data is larger than 2KB."

But I must admit, I am often not sure wether to store large data
in registry or apllication data folder. There are no real rules,
so just do as you please.
