This and other threads here are littered with the sometimes disastrous outcomes of people using various registry defrag and registry clean up tools.
The best advice is DON'T USE THEM.
The info is:
- Many - even most will cause you grief
- there is no evidence that a registry defrag is of any use whatsoever.
- there is minimal evidence that a registry cleanup tool is of any use except in some very specific cases thus very occaisional use may be OK (say 6 monthly)
- you will not get any or any measurable "speed" increase
The registry is crucial to your OS. Microsoft neither provide nor offer a registry defrag or cleanup tool. Why would that be? (rhetorical).
So don't use registry defraggers?
Whoops lol. I got smart defrag by iobit off of download.com because cnet wrote a review of it and said it worked pretty well with windows 7. That might of caused a problem because my openoffice.org software wouldn't open. Hmm....
Did they mention the defrag side of it actually working well or the program in general?
How about a update for your first thread?
Well Auslogic BoostSpeed 4 reg. defrag is working fine and i tested
TuneUp 2010 RC2 and its reg. defrag is good too!
Any newer reg. defrag is ok!
netlimiter is compatible with Win7 ages ago(via netlimiter 3 beta)
NetLimiter - The Ultimate Bandwidth Shaper
And a Beta of Stardock WindowBlinds 7 (supporting Win7) is available
for some users owning ObjectDesktop via Impulse
Yea, they mentioned the whole program working well with windows 7. It is a great registry defrag, one of the few that actually work well with windows 7 from what the review said. Check it out. It is by iobit and called smart defrag.
Not sure if this is in there but uniblue registry booster will give a blank log in screen,i assume it "fixes" a graphics driver or login application,becasue the keyboard did nada once it got to the blank screen.

Yea Charles Kane, use the drive defrag side of it only lol. Registry.... eh...no
