It does an internal registry desfragmentation, reallocating the empty spaces from previously removed entries in order to leave it contiguous, so wasting less space and making it faster. So, yes, it really does what it tells. You can read more in the FAQ session in the RegDefrag website. ;-) Re: comment from “What is NTFS?”

OK. Fine. What should they call it? It's still a useful utility. And considering Quicksys offers it for free, why should whatever they call it be considered "disgusting."

Tue, 13 May 2008 17:42:28 +0000 http://www.ghacks.net/?p=4112#comment-340578 You really should read what defragmentation is. To defrag a hard drive means to put the bits of a specific file together on the physical medium. The Regdefrag authors simply call their process 'to defrag', but it is not the same process. Regdefrag removes unnecessary entries, it does not rearrange the entries that are there. They are taking a technical term and turning it into a marketing term. That's disgusting.
