Any good registry defrag and cleaner

[Johnny Chow]

Hi,
I followed part of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 to restore
software registry key due to blue screen of
"systemroot\system32\config\software". I copied software registry to c:\
partition. Is there any good registry tool allow you to open and defrag
software registry on temporary location instead of current one ( came from
backup c:\windows\repair). In the article, I could not find Snapshot
folder in "System Volume Information" folder because I do not turn on system
restor.
.. _REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT
.. _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
.. _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
.. _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
.. _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM

I hope I could make the last current corrupt software registry to work. Any
recommendation or suggestion will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Johnny Chow

The Registry is a binary tree database, it is not memory (primary or secondary storage) and
you can't "defrag" the Registry.

The Registry does exist on the hard disk as a disk files and this can become fragmented and
the usual disk deframentation process is all you need.
