WinUtilities RegistryDefrag 1.2

WinUtilities RegistryDefrag will help you to get rid of one of the two main reasons that can make your Windows registry become inefficient and a drag for your system's performance - fragmentation. (The other reason is, as you may have guessed already, the number of invalid, corrupt, or obsolete entries in your system's registry.) This free and efficient utility will get rid of all the gaps, rewriting your registry in contiguous clusters, thus rebuilding it as a more compact, easy-to-access registry.

Though some may think that being such a small file (just a few megabytes), any fragmentation happening in the registry cannot seriously affect your system's performance, they need to be reminded that your operating system usually visits this small (but usually heavily fragmented) file hundreds of times... per second. We need to remember that new entries are being written and obsolete entries are being erased all the time, thus leaving unwanted yet inevitable gaps. By bringing together every byte that forms it you will be greatly helping your computer's processing speed.

The program will deeply scan your registry and will show you its defragmentation state, letting you to decide if a defragmentation process is needed or not. It will also inform you about the current size of your registry and that of the defragmented one, so you know how much space will be freed up in the process. The whole scanning and re-building of your registry takes barely a few minutes, but the results will be apparent as soon as you restart your system.
