Registry Defragmenter & Compactor 1.5

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This application compacts the size of your registry files to help improve system performance, but it does not live up to its claim of defragmenting the files. Its interface is simple and relatively easy to understand. Although Registry Defragmenter & Compactor claims to repair registry file defects, during testing it only compressed the files. Additionally, the program is sorely lacking the capability to back up those registry files. On a positive note, the program shows its results fairly quickly and leads with a warning on its backup limitation. The one-function Registry Defragmenter & Compactor won't grab many users' attention because of the availability of similar applications with more robust functionality.

Publisher's description

From AceLogiX :

The Windows Registry grows as data is added to it, but it never shrinks when data is removed. A bloated registry with a lot of empty space in it can slow down the boot time as well as performance as whole. Registry Defragmenter & Compactor will rebuild and re-index your registry to eliminate structural mistakes and corruption. The advantages are the following: repair defects by building a fresh registry, remove fragmentation with a linear and sequential registry, compact registry by removing gaps and unused space, improve system performance due to faster registry load/read, protect privacy by erasing previously deleted registry cells.

Version 1.5 has a minor bug fixes and added support for Vista x64 version.
