MJ Registry Watcher v1.2.8.8
Ennovy on 14 Aug 2023 Change history
- 8MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 14 Aug 2023
- Suggested by AlephX
MJ Registry Watcher is a system tray program that monitors and alerts you to changes to any registry keys files or folders. The default set of keys and files should ensure that nothing gets run at startup without your knowledge and important boot up files don't get changed behind your back, but you can configure it to suit your own needs. The program can also keep a full history of alerts in a log file.

This software protects and monitors changes to your registry and system files on Windows. It has saved me lots of time and effort with foistware and other unwanted system changes made by certain programs. It offers a registry backup facility which backs up your entire registry every 28 days and retains the last 15 copies. This has also saved me when I rather over-zealously tried to remove GotoMyPC from my computer. In terms of resource usage and intrusiveness, you will barely notice it's there, especially once you have exempted certain alerts from coming up after your initial deployment. Excellent and well recommended. |
Auslogics Registry Defrag v14.0.0.3
Andrew Lee on 13 Jul 2023 Change history
- 8MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 11 Jul 2023
- Suggested by Andrew Lee
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: Speed benefits on a SSD-based (flash media) installation will be minimal.

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).

The program is freeware again, but still not portable and won't run from external or network drives. |
RegScanner v2.71
Andrew Lee on 12 Jun 2022 Change history
- 98KB (uncompressed)
- Released on 8 Jun 2022
- Suggested by FlightGeek
RegScanner scans the Windows registry for values that match a specific search criteria and displays them in one single list for editing and viewing. No longer do you have to press F3 indefinitely to locate the right value. The list can also be exported into a .REG file that can be used in RegEdit.

This version (v2.50) doesn't acknowledge my regscanner.ini... Doesn't even create a new one either. Going back to the preview version works fine though. |
USB Oblivion v1.17.0.0
webfork on 30 Nov 2021 Change history
- 5MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 29 Nov 2021
- Suggested by I am Baas
USB Oblivion erases all traces of USB-connected devices, drives, and CD-ROMs from the registry. Since Windows keeps a record of all devices attached, this is useful both for privacy and for users who prefer "stealth" software.

| Runs on: | Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10 |
| Writes settings to: | None |
| Dependencies: | Administrator rights |
| Stealth: ? | No. Creates setupapi.app.log in Windows\inf during run but then removes it. |
| Unicode support: | Yes |
| License: | GNU GPLv2 |
| How to extract: | Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch USBOblivion32.exe or USBOblivion64.exe if using a 64-bit OS. |

hamasaki, on a whim, I renamed the 0 file, adding the zip file association name. That worked.

DriveCleanup v1.6.1

- Suggested by guinness
DriveCleanup removes all currently non present "Storage Volumes", "Disk", "CDROM", "Floppy" USB drives and their USB devices from the device tree. Furthermore it removes orphaned registry items related to these device types. Both are not removed by similar programs on the site and take up space on the registry, eventually slow down a computer over time.
To preview program actions, start with argument -T (test mode).
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).
