I downloaded this defragger and used it, and optimized. I think I see an improvement in performance. I use Ccleaner for cleaning only, and now I will use this defragger for defragging instead of Windows defragger, but..... I don't recommend using ANYTHING other than Windows 7's built in systems for messing with the registry. DON'T MESS WITH THE REGISTRY UNLESS YOU ARE A PRO, AND YOU HAVE A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A KNOWN SOLUTION FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROBLEM! This is the voice of experience talking here.

The CCleaner is the recognized state-of-the-art cleaner both for disk and registry.

In hundreds of installs over 10 years time, I have never had CCleaner mess up with its registry cleaner, as it is not targeted at anything which is still an active key. It simply doesn't make mistakes.

If you are nervous about it, accept it's offered backup of deleted Registry keys which can easily be merged back in if necessary. I stopped bothering with this after about the thousandth time.

I have used Ccleaner registry cleaner several times too, with no adverse results. I have also read many comments about Windows 7 not requiring a registry cleaner. Not sure which is right, and their registry cleaner never shows anything to clean on my unit anyway.
thanks,

A partition not used as a system and swap file partition will not be fragmented, there is no reason for it to be fragmented. If I understood your post correctly, and you are using that just to store media and such, then from a defragging standpoint I think the Windows Defragmenter is being truthful about that 0%.

I am not clear on what you are saying. Do you like or dislike Ccleaner? Do you like or dislike the Auslogics Disk Defragger?

Thanks,
Bill

I like CCleaner and Auslogics Disk and Registry defraggers, have used both for about 10 years on hundreds of installs with nary a problem.

I was only commenting that it is strange I get Registry entries to clean up after a clean install and setup, sometimes quite a few. I understand why I get them when doing an uninstall of bloatware, but not during a clean install or reinstall.

Got it. Thanks. That is strange to have all that after a clean install isn't it?
