Cleaning the Registry is just as important as making sure it’s optimized. Registry defragmentation works pretty much the same as it does for hard disks. Defragmented data will be arranged in an orderly manner, ensuring the highest possible access speed, thus benefit from improved system performance.
QuickSys RegDefrag is a simple, yet very effective free registry defrag tool with a friendly interface to make related tasks as effortless as possible.
Installation & Requirements
The program is small and installing it should pose no problems to most users. There are no third-party apps or any kind of adware included, so the setup process is fast and straightforward. Supported operating systems include Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 2008 and 7 with no additional hardware requirements.
Interface
QuickSys RegDefrag has a very attractive UI, but the most important thing is it’s also extremely easy to use. The main window offers only two options: Defrag Registry and Get Registry Information.
Using the Defrag Registry option will launch a step-by-step wizard to get you through the task. The first step is analyzing the registry. The program will display a warning to notify users that the system could become unresponsive during the analysis. When the process is finished the program will show the current fragmentation level and a recommendation based on it.
If you choose to defragment the registry, the application will automatically create a system restore point before the process begins. This ensures that if anything goes wrong you have the option of restoring your system to a functional state. A system restart will be needed upon completion for the changes to take effect.
Because QuickSys RegDefrag’s entire design aims towards user-friendliness, the Options menu is very light and it only has a few basic settings. Here, you can enable/disable automated update check, change the UI language or turn on/off the automated restore point creation that takes place before a defrag task.
Pros
– Quick installation with no adware included.
– Extremely simple interface, suitable even for non-technical users.
– Easy defrag via the step-by-step wizard.
Cons
– The developer’s website is currently offline, so you won’t be able to access the program’s documentation.
Conclusion
QuickSys RegDefrag has one major advantage, besides being free of course. It’s so simple that “registry defragmentation” although it may sound scary for tech-shy users is reduced to just a few mouse clicks.
