Cleaning Registry after changing to DB for Client Var Storage

Hiya,

After a major server crash caused by registry corruption I've recently changed all applciations to use a MySQL DB for Client Variable Storage.

However, there seem to be a lot of entries still in the registry (not surpising as we average 10,000 a day in the DB) and I was wondering what the best method was to clean these items out. Can I use a cleaning tool or do I have to delete them by hand?

Many thanks

Rob

    You can delete the Clients key without problems.

    You can just delete the entries from the registry (I think CF keeps

    the client information in

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Allaire_or_Macromedia\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients).

    Thanks Mack,

    Ok I'll hold off as we have some downtime scheduled for Wednesday evening.

    One quick follow up - can I just delete the Clients Key and recreate or do I have to delete the individual records one by one (which will take forever as you can probably appreciate)
