NTREGOPT |
The registry files in an NT-based system (such as XP) can become fragmented over
time, occupying more space on your hard disk than necessary and
decreasing overall performance. You should use the NTREGOPT utility
regularly, but especially after installing or uninstalling a
program, to minimize the size of the registry files and optimize
registry access.
The program works by recreating each registry hive "from scratch",
thus removing any slack space that may be left from previously
modified or deleted keys.
Note that the program does NOT change the contents of the registry
in
any way, nor does it physically defrag the registry files on the
drive
(as the PageDefrag program from SysInternals does). The optimization
done by NTREGOPT is simply compacting the registry hives to the
minimum size possible. |
