![]() I have no such hope for any defragmentation that involves moving stuff around. I am able to HOPE a simple file deletion or registry key deletion that is interrupted by a BSOD or power failure will either cleanly accomplish its task, or cleanly do no damage at all, and a normal reboot will follow. I do not know if it is better at being error free, or better at concealing its errors to reduce Help Desk work load ! ! I have suffered daily BSODS all the way from DOS 3.? through to Windows 98. If it is is another file / registry cleaner I visit in the evening to see how many people have managed to get back on line after re-installing Windows following a disaster caused by "today's free bargain". If I think it might be useful I visit in the morning ready to download and install etc etc. Just $19 will give you death by a thousand cuts - or you could have got it for free on 11 August atĮvery day I visit to see the "special for today". You do not have to spend $100 to remove more junk. You can get more aggressive (dangerous) cleaner for FREE. If anyone wants more thorough cleaning, use a different cleaner. I prefer CCleaner as a safe utility that errs on the side of caution. Registry Defragmentation or Registry Compact or Registry Compression. Registry Cleaning may help or not a System.Įvery Reliable Registry Cleaner has a Tool for Registry Defragmentation or Registry Compact or Registry CompressionĪll refer to Reducing the Registry Size without Removing Data just empty space.Īs a result less RAM and less Hard Disk space is required to store the Registry To me, this seems like a useful and reasonable addition to CCleaner. (I used 3 tools in verifying this because I was skeptical) On my computer, I reduced the size of the registry by 7% by compacting my registry. I cannot give an estimate for the performance gain, but I can for the for the lessening of space used by the registry. This can result in both a decrease in space used by the registry, and a performance increase for registry operations. When defragmenting or compacting the registry, these spaces are removed and entries placed in their proper locations. Similarly, when values are written to the registry where there is no blank area, they are appended to the end, resulting in the "fragmentation" of information. In registry cleaning, unneeded or unwanted registry entries are removed, this leaves "gaps" in the registry so that the computer does not have to re-write most of, or all of the registry back to the disk without that space. Registry "Defragmenting" otherwise known as Registry "Compacting" differs a lot from traditional Registry Cleaning. ![]() Sorry for the wordy post - just trying to cover everything.From what I understand (and I am not really an expert so don't bash me if I get something wrong here), My assumption is that the registry is only visible when CCleaner is active on the drive from which the OS is loaded - but I though I would ask in case it help to fix the problem. I know that there are options with CCleaner to clean files on the 2nd hardrive - but I can't see anything in terms of the registry. What I was wondering is it possible to run CCleaner on a 2nd hardrive (not the primary windows drive)? That chkdsk report some errors - and fixes - but I still get the same error when using the drive as a primary drive i.e. So I added the drive as a 2nd hard drive on a working PC - so that I could run chkdsk to check and fix any drive errors.ĭisk was regularly defragged - so don't think any issue with that. Starting from Known Good Config doesn't work - and neither does SAFE MODE. No new hardware installed - so my guess is some software update or a hardware failure e.g. ![]() I have a PC which starts to log into Windows XP (completes the normal boot process) and then gives the blue screen - with a REGISTRY_ERROR I know this is a long shot - but I thought I'd check it out just in case! Can CCleaner be used to check/fix the registry of a 2nd hardrive (not the primary drive on which the OS is running).
