Most of us like testing new software, even we go on to remove from ourcomputers only a few days or weeks after installation. The problem with this isthat information about the installation, location, usage of the software andregistration is stored within your Windows Registry. After months of installingand removing software, you'll find your system takes ages to boot, seems farmore sluggish than previously and programs start more slowly.

One obvious solution would be to re-install Windows, giving you a completelyclean Registry. However, there are far more simplistic solutions. The moststraightforward is to find a Registry cleanser that will scan your Registry formiscellaneous entries and then remove, streamlining the Registry database.

However, many Registry defrag tools are commercial, over the top and someeven go as far as stripping too much information from your Registry, causingadditional issues.

Quicksys RegDefrag is a simple and free Registry defrag and optimisationtool, which is both well designed and simple to use.

This is the brand new 2.x release and ships with a number of new featuresincluding a new defrag algorithm, HTML reporting and much more.
