Seaborn Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 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?

davey Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 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=&...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 !!! davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarq57 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 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.
