Registry Fixer or Defrag

[cubyong]

Hi, any idea which is a good registry defragmenter or fixer on the internet? Thanks!

lots of them.

two I recommend are CCleaner and glarysoft registry repair. Both are open source and free.

for a defrag - use defraggler - also free.

try sourceforge.net for opensource alternatives.

Registry I'd go for Ccleaner or IOBIT Advanced System Care's inbuilt registry cleaner...

Defragger I'd recommend JKDefrag

Registry Defragmentation

While JkDefrag explicitly mentions defragmentation of registry, Defraggler doesn’t (on its home page), which requires clarification, as it may only be a normal disc defragmenter.

Furthermore, JkDefrag requires the PageDefrag from SysInternals/MS.

PageDefrag claims to do both, registry and paging file defragmentation:

PageDefrag uses advanced techniques to provide you what commercial defragmenters cannot: the ability for you to see how fragmented your paging files and Registry hives are, and to defragment them. In addition, it defragments event log files and Windows 2000/XP hibernation files (where system memory is saved when you hibernate a laptop).

It would thus seem to me that PageDefrag would be a suitable tool to use for registry/paging file defragmentation.

• It has been developed by the legendary Mark Russinovich and is officially adopted by MS.
• It is used by 3rd party tools
• It is only 210 kB
• It seems very simple to use
• It does not seem to require installation
• It’s free
