TuneUp RegistryDefrag
Overview

Introduction

Every new program and every new hardware component enters itself in the registry, creating keys and values. Over time, the central Windows database gets larger and larger. The larger the registry becomes, the longer the system needs to find specific information, and this makes Windows slower.

Swiss cheese bogs the system down

When you remove the software or the hardware component, these keys and values are usually deleted, but the registry doesn't get any smaller. Why? The space that was occupied by a deleted key is still in the registry, even if it is no longer used. Sooner or later, your registry looks like Swiss cheese with lots of holes. It can be 13 MB large, but only contain 9 MB of information. This slows your system down and wastes space, both on your hard drive and in the memory.

TuneUp RegistryDefrag can consolidate your registry and make it considerably smaller - a trick that can make your system faster again. To do this, the module analyzes the old registry and then creates an entirely new version that only contains the correct entries in the proper order. The old registry is then deleted and is replaced with the new one after a restart.
