Moderators Nergal Posted January 26, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2012 yes I believe we two three are of the same mind on that, but sadly the question is brought up for one or the other every 3 or so pages ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

pook1y7985 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Looking at the above. I agree with adding a warning message to the below. It should be pointed out this file is used by Windows to do a normal built in defrag as welll. Some sits I have found do not recommend removing this file from your system as it may not be recreated. You might want to think about either removing completely or putting a Use with Caution message or only periodically as its only one ini [Defragmentation List*] LangSecRef=3025 DetectFile=%WinDir% Default=False FileKey1=%WinDir%\Prefetch|Layout.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMalik Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 [Defragmentation List*] LangSecRef=3025 DetectFile=%WinDir% Default=False FileKey1=%WinDir%\Prefetch|Layout.ini The above entry negates part of the features of Perfectdisk in that it prevents Perfectdisk from aligning programs so that the system will boot faster. I recommend that this entry before or a warning message be inserted. It may also negatively affect other third party defraggers (I do not know this for fact, but it may). The link below further explains how Perfectdisk interfaces with Layout.ini. http://superuser.com...agement-options Suggested Warning message: [Defragmentation List*] LangSecRef=3025 Warning=DO NOT use if your system has PerfectDisk defragging software.

I always have PerfectDisk on my system. Right now I have PerfectDisk 12.5 Pro. I also have R-Wipe&Clean that always removes this file, never had any issue. BTW this file is not a part of PerfectDisk program. It also keeps information about the programs were removed from the system until it got recreated again. http://www.pcreview....i-t2176963.html Windows recreate this file after restarting the system as long as Superfetch (Vista-7) service is running.
