I used to have to do the annual reinstall to clean up
the registry.

There are far easier ways to clean the registry.

Windows registry rarely if ever needs "cleaning". Unless you have some
specific problem, trying to do so is at best a waste of time and at
worst catastrophically destructive. There is a shady industry that
sells so-called "registry cleaning" software but what they're really
selling is snake oil.
