Registry optimizer
When I used Windows XP I had a utility that would back up and optimize the registry. If my memory serves me correctly, it was called ERUNT. But it doesn't seem to work on Windows 7. Does anyone one know of such a utility that will work on Windows 7? Thanks.

Hi Frank,
For backup, I recommend this: Registry - Backup and Restore As far as optimisation goes, I don't believe the registry under Windows 7 requires any optimisation at all. Its better to let Windows manage that for you. Regards, Golden |

Erunt
Frank1
I have Erunt loaded on this rig and it runs. Has to be run elevated. I must admit that I have never used it to restore. But it backs up and gives me a succesful message. |

I'm with Golden in saying the registry doesn't need to be optimized, if that is what you are looking for. Playing with the registry always runs the chance that you soon will be posting problems here: Crashes and Debugging - Windows 7 Forums
But a simple google search may help you find what you are looking for: https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-...w=1013&bih=616 This is a software comparison between some reg cleaners: http://softwareindustryreport.com/re...y-cleaner.html |

I think I will take the advice and not mess with the reistry as far as optimzation is concerned. As they say, "If your car ain't broke, don't fix it." Thanks for the information.

Well done with that decision Frank... ![]() My mantra follows. Current accepted wisdom with Win 7 is to NOT use a cleaner. If you ever think your Registry needs to be cleaned, repaired, boosted, tuned-up, cured, tweaked, fixed, or optimized it shouldn't. Note - IMO - there is no reliable way for a third party program to know whether any particular key is invalid, redundant or neither. Some registry cleaners may not know for sure whether a key is still being used by Windows or what detrimental effects removing it may have. This has led to examples of registry cleaners causing loss of functionality and/or system instability. FYI Do I need a Registry Cleaner? | What the Tech |

The makers of Erunt do have a tool called NTREGOPT which is a registry optimiser, but it is a tool I have never used. NTREGOPT optimise the registry by compacting the registry. It does not remove any entries, it simply compacts. It does not run like a registry cleaner does by removing 'redundant' entries. A quote from the author >> http://larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ntregopt.txt Quote:
Note that the program does NOT change the contents of the registry in
any way, nor does it physically defrag the registry files on the drive (as the PageDefrag program from SysInternals does). The optimization done by NTREGOPT is simply compacting the registry hives to the minimum size possible. |

Yes--Ntregopt is the utility that I was trying to think of. Do you know if there is one that will work with Windows 7?

I say leave the registry alone. I wouldn't even "compact" it (whatever that means). Keeping the registry cleaned up mattered on the old legacy kernel (Windows 1 through ME(4.9)). It doesn't matter unless your are recieving error messages on the NT kernel (Windows NT 3.1 through Windows 8).
