How do I defrag the registry with CCleaner?


Seaborn

Recommended Posts

I have been using CCleaner for years and have been happy with it for the most part.

 

Over time though I have noted that although CCleaner has cleaned up the registry, my computer takes longer and longer to boot.

 

I found by using another vendor's software, WinASO RegDefrag 1.0, that the registry was as much as 30% fragmented.

 

After running CCleaner and WinASO RegDefrag 1.0, the performance change on bootup was substantial.

 

Does CCleaner have the capability to defrag the registry after cleaning that I am not aware of?

Hello Seaborn,

Yes CCleaner is excellent.

The registry defrag program that you list is dangerous.

See this link in your other post. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&amp...ost&p=68616

Also this is very alarming. http://www.download.com/WinASO-RegDefrag/3...tml?tag=foot_ur

My registry is too important to take this risk !!!

I've found that the NTREGOPT program linked above is fine. (Along with its colleague, R+ERUNT, a reg backup tool.)

Never used the ASO reg defrag, have used their optimizer in the past, I suspect over aggressive reg cleaning was the reason I had to re-install windows. Treat with caution.
