Scan & Fix 100 registry errors free
CNET Editors' review
It's hard to tell if registry defraggers and cleaners work, but the Auslogics Registry Defragger looks good. It's hard to gauge if these programs are effective because once you're done using them, you'd need more than a mere store-bought machine with store-loaded programs to judge CPU speed.
When you run it, it tells you that it will perform a registry analysis, after which you will be able to review its registry report, and once that's done with you can run the registry optimization, requiring a reboot to defrag and compact the registry. It's a fairly serious program, and once you begin the analysis it won't let you move the mouse outside the program window. It also "strongly recommends" that users close all other programs while it runs, although this is a standard warning for registry-cleaning apps.
An expected change in clock speed or other performance benchmarks never materialized. Resource-intensive Internet browsers and e-mail clients may be piggish, but they're necessary and don't load any faster or slower than normal after running the reg defrag. Until a registry defragger or cleaner can demonstrate benchmarkable improvements to a computer, they'll be little more than 21st century snake oil.
Publisher's Description
From Auslogics Software:
Microsoft Windows and various programs access the registry a few hundred times a second. Therefore a fragmented registry is one of the major reasons why your computer may be so slow. Auslogics Registry Defrag can significantly speed up your computer by helping you defragment registry, remove gaps, and make it contiguous, smaller and faster to access.
What's new in this version: Version 6.2 fixed form positioning bug that occurred when a user disabled additional monitors.

"Works Well, As Expected !"
Version: Auslogics Registry Defrag 6.2
Pros
Easy to use , well designed, solid program. In other words: it's from Auslogics.
Cons
None that I've found.
Summary
I've often wondered if leftover Registry items that standard registry cleaners remove (broken keys, empty entries, etc.) ever leave fragments of these items behind, as with disk files. Apparently they do: I found around half a dozen on my system, which isn't many, but I did a Windows 7 re-install about a month ago, so it's a fairly clean registry. I'd like to try it again in 6 months or a year to see what it comes up with. This is obviously an useful program, but one that should be used sparingly. As with all Auslogics programs I've tried, it's solidly designed and delivers first-rate performance. I would also recommend the Auslogics Registry Cleaner (which should be used before defragging) and the Auslogics Disk Defragger: all fine programs and tops in their class.
