My Registry had been defraged 24 hrs before by 'ERUNT NT Registry Optimizer' ; Quicksys analyzed and reported defragmentation was not necessary (leaving no alternative to defrag whatever so). Calling back ERUNT, analyze reported a very little fragmentation (<1%), but did indeed report it, allowing an unnecessary defragmentation, but reporting it and allowing it. So I consider - in a logic which may not be shared - that 'ERUNT NT Registry Optimizer' remains my favorite. I’ve tried Quicksys RegDefrag.

The GUI looks nice but I wonder if it is better than this time tested and true duo - just curious :-) How does this compare to NTREGOPT/ERUNT?

I have always considered the Registry as the spine, and surgeons hate to operate the spine... I'll take your advice, keep what works and install alternatives to compare, though comparison here may not be obvious. I'd have to make a ghost copy of the drive, defrag Registry with one software and note changes, recall ghost copy and defrag Registry with second software, and compare. Problem with Registry is that problems don't always show immediately... anyway, I have difficulty to imagine how a Registry deframentation could damage the Registry, as opposed to Registry cleaners where the possible harm is more obvious ... as a morale of the story, the worst situations in life are when you know enough to imagine, and too little to resolve! Thanks again. OK, Martin, thanks.

I would not change if ERUNT works for you. You could however install RegDefrag just to check out how it compares to ERUNT. On the other hand ERUNT does not seem to have been updated in three years time which is not necessarily a problem but I prefer to use newer software usually if both offer the same functionality.

QuickSys notifies that they have changed their defragmentation algorithm, which does mean that the Registry may be defragmented in different ways, which I ignored. Martin, can I ask you your advice concerning QuickSys compared to ERUNT, do you believe it is worth changing ? (your responsibility is not engaged, just to have a clue) Hello Martin,
