Re: Is it possible to defragment registry?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It's not really defragmentation as much as removal of "White Space".
The operation generally compacts the registry resulting in a smaller
size. NTRegOpt is one program that does this.

Unless you've uninstalled lots of applications a normal NTRegOpt is
only going to provide a 4-7% size reduction.

Note: As with anything that changes the Registry, it's best to have a
current/verified image of your machine before using.

Hello experts,

Is it possible to defragment registry the way files on a disk are
defragmented? Or, am I totally wrong?

If possible, then how?

Your help is greatly appreciated
