Seaborn Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I have been using Defraggler for awhile and have been happy with it for the most part. I found by using another vendor's software, WinASO RegDefrag 1.0, that the registry was as much as 30% fragmented. Does Defraggler have the capability to defrag the registry that I am not aware of?

davey Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Hello Seaborn, Welcome !!! Personally, I don't use registry defrag programs. I use NTREGOPT to safely compact the registry. I use ERUNT to back it up also. http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/index.htm If I were to use a registry defrag then I advise that you check out this thread. The product you are using is dangerous. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&...ost&p=68616 Andavari is a forum Moderator and we trust and value his judgment. 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 !!! Defraggler currently does not have an option to defragment the registry. Maybe later, maybe never ? Good luck, davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHaunter Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I use this PageDefrag and it defragments the registry at every boot. And also the pagefile.sys and the hiberfil.sys. (Not for Vista!) But I think it only defragment but not optimise it. Because I just installed "Free Registry Defrag" mentioned by "CeeCee" here: Erunt-Ngtropt - Piriform Forums and I did the analyse. It said there would be a gain of 10% when optimizing.

The Don Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Reducing the overall size of the registry. Hi, Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Free Registry Defrag and Ntregopt and if both are used for same purposes which one is best. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. Free Registry Defrag is just an advert for Registry Clean Expert but it does check the registry. NTREGOPT is free.

NewHaunter Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi, Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Free Registry Defrag and Ntregopt ... Free Reg Defrag shows the % gain expected in an analyse before the optimizing and Ntregopt does not.
