Disk Defrag, Registry Defrag and Registry Cleaners
After that great response on "W7 running free forever???", I hope you folks can advise me on the following three subjects:
Hard Disk Defrag
Registry Defrag
Registry Cleaning
With the first two, I wonder if W7 inherent capabilities do just as good a job as any of the available programs now do, in terms of results, not just making pretty graphics.
With Registry Cleaning, I frankly don't know if those things do any good, and I know in the last 15 or so years I have managed to break a lot of programs and reinstall those programs to restore function. If I scale back, I really think all I am doing is going through useless motions.
Are there any hard test numbers that prove through any of these "tools"? -Reliable, that is. I have seen a number of "independent review/test sites" that appear to have been set up by manufacturers. Yes I am paranoid about spending money, but to paraphrase: "It might only be a hill of beans, but that is my hill and those are my beans."
