I remember even in the 90s realizing that the registry was a bad idea. Instead each app should have had its own executable/settings/data folder. I don't understand why they didn't add this.
- gesman 7y agoExactly. Each app should have it's own directory. It shouldn't pollute outside. Problem solved. Ballmer thought differently. Or most likely didn't think at all.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoI wouldn't blame it on Ballmer. All these decisions were made when Gates was in control. the designers of NT and windows 95 had a chance to clean up and didn't do it.
