Ru (registry usage) reports the registry space usage for the registry key you specify. By default it recurses subkeys to show the total size of a key and its subkeys.
usage: ru [-c[t]] [-l <levels> | -n | -v] [-q] <absolute path>
usage: ru [-c[t]] [-l <levels> | -n | -v] [-q] -h <hive file> [relative path]
Parameter | Description |

-c | Print output as CSV. Specify -ct for tab delimiting. |

-n | Do not recurse. |
