Automatic compression of the Registry

I described a way to compress the Windows registry manually yesterday. The process itself was not really complicated but it involved booting into DOS to complete the changes to the registry that have been made by the process. Tehmul (more of that please) commented in that article pointing to a software named NTREGOPT (NT Registry Optimizer) which would optimize the full registry and perform the replacement during the next system boot automatically.

This is of course a far better method of compressing the registry which is why I decided to write an article about NTREGOPT. Just run the software after downloading and installing it. It will automatically check and compress the registry displaying information about the reduction at the end of the process.

As you can see the size of the optimized registry is about 5 Megabytes smaller than the size of the unoptimized registry. The registry files have been replaced during the system boot which is far more comfortable than having to boot into DOS to give the restore commands manually.

   I tried to find article on your site about ERUNT – more powerful, and, I feel, more important NTREGOPT companion, which do regular registry backups. But I didn’t find it.

   If you didn’t write about that handy progam – please do. I can truly rescue system from unwanted changes in registry.
