I've heard of optimizing the registry, but not defragging it. It is a
file, so defrag should place it into contiguous space on the drive.

I use RegSeeker to clean the registry. It is pretty aggressive, but I
have never had a problem with it. I read of someone with Norton stuff
installed who had bad problems with this cleaner though. I have used
it with 98SE, ME, and now with XP Pro.

I just ran it and cleaned 292 useless entries with no problem.

Try RegCompact. So far, it's worked well when I've tried it. I can't
remember the official web site, but Google gives several sources to
download it. It's "donationware" or some such thing, so payment appears
to be voluntary.

The only reg cleaners that defrag the registry (win2000) that I
know of, are trialware and not true freeware. They expire after
so many days and then ya gotta buy 'em.

Have I overlooked any true freeware cleaners that defragment the
registry?

Mmm, not properly...

When you remove a registry entry (for example with RegSeeker), actually that
entry remains in place (it's only marked as blank) and there is a gap into
the registry. Therefore the registry becomes more fragmented over time.

The same happens with the databases: if you delete a record, you only remove
its field entries and the access for that record. You need to compact the DB
to remove the holes and to re-index it.

I believe optimizing is what the registry software people refer
to when they say defragmenting the registry.

I use regseeker too, although I've got to watch it pretty
closely. For some reason my perl file association goes away
when I follow its recommendations. This is on win2000.

It doesn't change a thing on my system (Win2K). before and after hive
sizes are identical. It also doesn't have an uninstaller and doesn't
appear in Add/Remove Programs. Had to manually remove entries from
Program Files, Start Menu, and desktop icon. Clicking on the link to
the author's web page yielded a blank page (not found or unreachable,
I forget).

I'd avoid it, given that experience.

Perhaps this is not quite what you ask, but:

Sysinternals freeware PageDefrag can defragment the registry files, and also
the pagefile

Here is a list of my win2000 files it can defragment:
file Size Fragments
D:\pagefile.sys 196608 1
D:\WIN2000\system32\config\AppEvent.Evt 128 8
D:\WIN2000\system32\config\default 32 1

I use it for both Win2000 and WinXP.

Well, I've had no trouble compacting the registry - it's OE that's crashed
and burned horribly on compacting; It's done it twice, and even I can take
that sort of hint.

I couldn't get on with any other mail clients, which is why I went back to
it - but Thunderscape's here now. Loud cheers

What is Thunderscape?

hmmmm...perhaps, may or may not, anything that touch the

risky.... I will think about it :-)

Just download it and read this paragraph:

"RegCompact is Shareware. You are authorized to install, use,
make backups of, distribute, and reverse engineer RegCompact
at no charge. If you find RegCompact useful, you are asked to
make a voluntary donation."

Although the term "shareware" is used...I wonder if it means
"share" - "ware" or donationware....(I have seen some call
freeware as "share" + "ware", i.e., ware to share with no cost
and no pay...just a guess

It is essential, in OE, before attempting to compact folders that you
click File/Work Offline. I had the horrible crash and burn once when I
never did this, since then it works fine every time. Its amazing how
fragmented the folders become over time.
