This value is located in the following registry key:. By default, the registry size limit is 25 percent of the paged pool. The default size of the paged pool is 32 MB, so this is 8 MB.

If the value of this entry is greater than 80 percent of the size of the paged pool, the system sets the maximum size of the registry to 80 percent of the size of the paged pool. This prevents the registry from consuming space needed by processes.

There are ways, though they involve installation of software to "hook" things basically, hacking that you can bring back the ability to load desktop themes, and even to bring back Aero Glass to the Windows 8.

I have stopped short of replacing the theme, but have set up Aero Glass via a 3rd party tool. In my case I missed the drop shadows around windows very much, and set out to find a way to bring them back.

Aero Glass for Windows 8. I agree that the loss of configurability is terrible, but this is kind of old news now - and you're not going to get many folks agreeing with you because it's not fashionable. Configurability and utility are apparently not coming back.

Nor, apparently, are very many people embracing Windows 8 - which is a good thing; a lack of sales may well bring Microsoft back to the straight and narrow. I have a particular colour I need the windows to be so that I can continue taking screenshots for some technical documentation and want to maintain consistency. Windows7 was the last OS to feature full "Advanced Appearance" dialog.

Every version of Windows since has become less customizable until, with Windows 10, you have virtually no customization at all except to choose one color and Microsoft does all the rest for you.
