Ken,
This issue will go away with Vista 64 or Win 7 64. The problem is
every time you mount a drive, it adds that to the registry. Even when
you mount the same drive again. Here is the Facilis Tech Note:
Facilis Technology, Inc. Technical Note TN-024
Microsoft Scrubber Utility for Registry Errors
Facilis Technology recommends that end users running Windows 2000 or XP
Pro based (32 bit) clients that are fibre channel attached to the
Terrablock system run Microsoft's Scrubber utility to limit the amount
of System hive growth. Symptoms of an oversized System hive can include
slow performance when mounting or unmounting volumes. In cases where the
system hive becomes too large the operating system may fail to boot.
Scrubber will help prevent both scenarios from occurring.
Running Scrubber
1. Unzip the Scrubber.zip archive to a convenient location on your
client system
Note: For Windows XP Pro users you must set the Scrubber executable to
run in Windows 2000 Compatibility mode. To do so do the following:
a. Navigate to the Scrubber Directory you creating in Step 1.
b. Right click on scrubber.exe and choose Properties
c. Click on the Compatibility tab
d. Check off the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" option
e. From the pulldown menu choose "Windows 2000"
3. From the Start menu choose Run and type "cmd" to open a command
prompt.
4. Navigate to the Scrubber directory you created in Step 1. For
example: C:\>cd Scrubber
5. Type the following: scrubber.exe /c
6. Once complete you will see the following message: "System hive backup
saved in C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system.scc:
7. If scrubber removed several entries you will need to reboot the
system and repeat steps 3 through 5 above to ensure the System hive is
free of "stale" entries.
To ensure that your System hive never becomes too large you can script
Scrubber to run automatically at system startup and/or shutdown. Facilis
recommends that you run Scrubber on your system at least once a month

MountPoints under Regedit and there are only 4 drive letters there. Any
idea what is up with this?
