Is registry suitable to store application data?
Hello,
I am developing an application which will store
data about users (max. 1000 users, 100 bytes
for each user).
I store data in
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\MyApplication.
My colleague has said me that I should store
application data in Windows's Registry.
I think that it is bad idea because of system performance
and destination of registry.
What do you think, is registry convenient
to store about 100 000 bytes of application data?
If yes or not, what are arguments?
Thanks in advance.
