Hi,
I tried to increase my desktop heap size on Windows 2008 and Vista, but the maximum value I can get is 64MB. I cannot find this restriction to be documented anywhere, so is this the maximum value?
I increased the SharedSection of the Registry value from the default value (20MB for Win2008, 12MB for Vista) to 150MB. - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\
CurrentCon
trolSet\Co
ntrol\Sess
ion Manager\SubSystems\Windows
.
However, when I run the testlimit utlility (

And according to
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ntdebugging/archive/2007/07/05/desktop-heap-part-2.aspx , the desktop heap size is no longer limited by the SessionViewSize on 2008 and Vista, so is 64MB the maximum size of a single desktop heap?
Thank you,
Daniel Pavlic
