This is not a registry cleaner - it does not scan the registry for errors, which is why it does not give any scan results.

This defragments the registry, and like other registry defrag programs, it is normal for the computer to appear to freezes for periods of time when the registry is being analyzed before doing the defrag. Just wait and your computer will become responsive again.

What this program does is make a new copy of the registry to make it smaller and increase access time. When data is deleted from the registry - the registry stays the same size, and there is a gap left where the data was deleted. As new data is added to the registry it becomes scattered.

By making a new copy of the registry containing the same data, but without the gaps - it will of course be smaller. Also, when the new registry files are written the registry data is rearranged so that is it is all in order and not scatter all over the place.


There are several free programs which do the same job as this. However since this is free today, there is no particular reason to use free registry defrag software over this. Because this is rearranging the registry, rather than deleting data like registry cleaners do it should be safe to use.

Am I missing something here, this is a Registry Defragger ONLY, and does NOT find and remove any registry so-called errors. Its purpose is to try to make all registry hives one contiguous file.

IMHO any performance increases will be minimal and defraaging is only required at infrequent intervals. If you dont add and remove lots of programs it probably only necessary to check the fragmentation status, if its less than 5% or so I wouldnt bother with a defrag.

This program is free today so no loss but in time honoured GOTD tradition an excellent free Reg Backup/Defragger is Lars Hederer s ERUNT/NTREGOPT at http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ , and its portable too. Also Reg Defrag is included in some speed up suites/reg cleaners.

Thanks to GOTD and Elcor for this software today.

Installed and registered Registry Defrag on my Windows XP SP3 system with no problems. Used it to clean & defrag my registry and it shrank it by 7%.

First reboot, the system was a bit slow to finish loading Windows. Waited antil it had loaded and rebooted again...the second time Windows loaded as fast or maybe even faster than normal. Everything seems to be in order, and this program appears to not have deleted anything out of the registry that it shouldn't have, like SOME registry cleaners.

It also has the option to schedule registry defrags to complete automatically at the frequency you choose, if you so desire. It also will display a map of your registry before and after, which looks like the display from a disk defragger.

Also you can make backups of the registry, which is a plus.

Seems to work as advertised... I wouldn't spend $26.95 for this program, but it is a nice program to get free.

Over at Download (CNet) the User rating:4.0 stars and Editors' rating:4.0 stars and Elcor Software has been around for a few years, with quite a few popular programs. Hope this helps.

Before you install this you may want to read this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897426 which is PageDefrag v2.32 by Mark Russinovich. Basically, you can't defrag the registry while Windows is running.
