Does anyone trust cleaning there registry and defragging there registry with Glary Utilities , with its back up of registry feature, reliability and restore point.

Please note defragging the registry is not to be confused with defragging the hard drive and it is generally thought cleaning the registry without derfraging it will have no positive effects in terms of performance! However if one defrags the registry the performance is clearly visible and can shrink a registry from 80 Mega bytes to 998 kilobytes!

P.S. I heard Ccleaner is a preferred method to clean the registry, while Glary Utilities is preferred method to defrag the registry!

I heard that Glary Utilities is a good registry defragmentation tool (some of my work mates recommended) but never had a try since I never had think in a registry defragmentation on my laptop. Is just fine in the way it is now…

But give a try and give a feedback about it.

I use Glary and CCleaner…both are fine IMO. I learned about Glary from one of the forums…simple and easy to use.

It’s a powerful application. Just take care: if it works, don’t fix it :slight_smile:

Unless your an expert, the few milliseconds saved by cleaning and defragmenting your registry aren’t worth the aggravation of
reinstalling your operating system if something goes wrong.
Heed Tech’s words, “If it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it”.

CCleaner might not clean as much but is the most reliable if you ask me. I’m using it all the time on all systems and i never had any problems with anything. But when i was using other cleaners sooner or later some program got broken or OS crapped out. So i’m strictly sticking with CCleaner from then on.

The deeper, the more dangerous.
Hope the myth of speeding machine when cleaning registry disappears… It was from Windows 9x time when all registry was loaded into memory.

I only use CCleaner and even then I make sure I keep backups of what it finds and wants to remove.

I agree with Tech and Bob. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Different registry cleaners/defraggers seem to find different types of registry problems. If you run ccleaner it finds some. If you run Glary you find even more. If you run Eusing even more. Which one do you trust? How many people know just what they are deleting when it comes to registry entries? Also, how much speed do you actually gain? I don’t know the answer to this but prefer to leave my registry alone unless there are strange things going on. One being programs that think that when installed they should run at each boot.
