    I'm not sure how effective this thing is yet. I have not found many other apps to compare it to for evaluation of potential differences in results.

    However, that said, there seems to be an annoying bug in this version. It reset the position / order of my icons on the desktop when I conducted a Defrag of the registry.

    Ran the app, it said it needed to reboot, I rebooted, and bam, all my icons are lined up from top to bottom right next to each other instead of being in the order and location that I had set them.

    I tested it three times - twice in independent VM's, and it did it each and every time.

    I do believe there needs to be more interaction and feedback during the analysis and processing stage as well. I want it to be painfully obvious what it has found and what it is considering doing to my registry files. By default, that level of information should be provided to the user.

    For the reasons above, until I can work with the developer to report and understand these features or lack thereof, I'm going to rate it a 2.

    I need to compare it to Easy Cleaner 2.0 and CCleaner to see if it performs any of the same functions that those two do, or where the procedures differ. That information is not provided to me upon execution, and I'm going to have to spend some time looking into potential overlaps or whether this app is purely comprelementary in terms of function to those other products.

    Hi,

    NTREGOPT freeware also do it since years.

    RegDefrag has much nicer graphical interface.

    You can also use VXSCRUB command-line tool that clean unsused volume drives like USB key.

    On my Win2K SP4 machine RegDefrag says there is no fragmentation, but VXSCRUB or NTREGOPT say there is some hundred KB to optimize.

    Regards.

    This is a very new application that has quickly won my approval and has absolutely satisfying results..especially for in two months time they have done what the Auslogics team took years to do in their regdefrag, and do the job better!

    Registry "Defragmenting" is just as important as pissing in the sea.

    @RYAN2679: So if something is free, then you cannot have opinion about it. THINK AGAIN.

    Support uft-8 in translations or drop them at all.
