Free Registry Defrag is trustworthy freeware!
Yes it is.
Free Registry Defrag is trustworthy freeware! The only problem it has is some uncorrected spelling that's been in a few versions.
I think I`ll get over this minor bug...

Hi Andavari
From your experience with this product, from what defragmentation percentage will it be convenient for me to defrag the registry?
Thanks
Eli

I go by their recommendation. If the registry is at 2% fragmentation I've found their statement to be true that it isn't necessary to "optimize" it. The registry is typically always going to be at least at 1% or 2% fragmentation!
It isn't the type of tool you'd run all the time either, so it may only need to be used once or twice per year. Strangely I've noticed on two occasions over the years where Windows XP seemingly optimized the registry all on its own and greatly reduced the registry filesize well beyond all the "free registry defrag programs" floating about.

Thanks for your reply. I have 4% fragmentation, I wonder if there is any point on defragmenting if there is only 2% difference between their recommendation, and the actual state of my registry.
It is messing with my registry that I`m afraid of, specially if there is a questionable gain from this action in my case.

With only 4% I myself wouldn't even bother because it won't be long for the registry to go back to that level.

If you haven't ever defrag your registry, I would defrag that 4%.
After that, you don't basicly have to defrag, unless you remove a lot of stuff from the registry (uninstall a lot of apps, and so on). Some registry entries wil leave more and bigger gaps than others. Registry defrag programs removes those gaps left by removed registry entries and that way compacting the registry.
Edit: This is very important when using registry defrag programs; Reboot your computer right away after defragging, because other wise the registry might get corrupted.
