The time I found out 10 years ago that scrolling with a Dell touchpad set registry keys every few milliseconds to adjust the scroll rate in a hack way 😵‍💫

I did hear that someone at Microsoft complained to them about this.

@SwiftOnSecurity I am kind of curious how much larger the reg files got over time.

Were they just left there or overwritten/cleared at every startup? Also curious if the huge trend of reg cleaners like CCleaner were actually useful in this case.

@d_RLY @SwiftOnSecurity it’s an overwrite, not an append. so it’s endlessly tying up i/o but the backing file shouldn’t get any bigger.
