Ccleaner found 0 problems
Argente - Registry Cleaner found 988 problems

Ccleaner never finds very many. I think that is because it only cleans what is absolutely safe. I've used "Free Registry Cleaner" for a long time, and found from experience that you don't want to remove all keys just because they are empty. Some programs (Microsoft is a culprit) use GUIDs as key names, and they refer to the key name - it doesn't have to have a value. Now, I don't know how many reg-cleaners can tell if a key name has a GUID.

This is awesome. Easily list all the registry keys you're looking for AND a nice suprise was the ability to create a delete .reg file for easy batch removal of entries. Excellent for cleaning out all those old entries that not even the best 'registry cleaners' will miss. Just make sure you know what you're doing.

This program works with Vista retail too (run as admin and/or with UAC set to auto-elevate, etc). It's also much easier than RegEdit's F3 search, and has sophisticated filtering. Thanks for this good tool.

Many programs, even portable ones, leave behind a lot of registry data that is much easier to trace thanks to RegScanner. Ever since I started using it I've seldom edited my registry without it.

Auslogics Registry Defrag v6.3.0.5 Updated

webfork on 20 Apr 2013

Auslogics Registry Defrag defragments and compacts the Windows Registry in less than a minute. It scans through the registry to remove slack spaces, reducing the registry size and ultimately the amount of RAM the registry takes up, improving drive performance.

Note that speed benefits on a SSD-based (flash media) installation will be minimal.

  • Added free space availability check before creating Rescue Center backups. If there is not enough free space on a disk, user has the option to abort the operation or proceed without creating a backup.
  • Fixed memory leaks, optimized code and algorithms, which improved the speed of practically every tool in the program.
  • All modules that work with hard drives were optimized to correctly process large data volumes, namely the Rescue Center will now correctly create and restore backups larger than 2 GB.
  • Made numerous corrections to language files.
  • Made numerous changes to modules; interface to make them more convenient and easier to work with.
  • Improved reports and operation results display in response to user feedback. Now this information is easier to understand.
  • Added partial Windows 8 compatibility. Full compatibility will be implemented in BoostSpeed version 5.4
  • Corrected all known bugs.
  • Corrected installer errors, optimized program installation and uninstallation.

@Harry: this program here is registry defrag not disk defrag

Pax on 2010-12-25 18:36

My only experience with a registry defragger left my system unable to boot (used backup registry to fix). I'm not writing this to take a cheap shot at the makers of this app but I think a better explanation is needed on their web pages. Most of the 'bullet-point' features sound like hype (reduce size, windows=faster, performance=faster).

Not sure what "remove slack spaces" and "Eliminates structural defects in the Registry" mean... Registry cleaners, disk defraggers, contiguous blocks of data, etc ... I understand. Registry compactors that fix structural defects... I don't understand.

The program is freeware again, but still not portable and won't run from external or network drives.

Free Window Registry Repair helps locate and remove invalid registry entries, which helps improve system performance (since the registry becomes smaller). It supports the automatic creation of registry backups so that you can restore to a previous backup if something goes wrong. On WinXP, it can also create a restore point automatically.

IMHO, the best registry cleaner is Argente Registry Cleaner. Supports 64-bits and there's a portable version. I'll probably add it to the database next month. www.argentesoftware.blogspot.com/

I totally second lautrepay's opinion about Argente Registry Cleaner.
Happy holidays everybody!
