RegCompact.NET solves the problem of registry fragmentation and large size by rewriting the registry hives into new files which are completely optimised and often much smaller. Your computer is restarted after the registry hives are compacted and during system startup the old, fragmented files are replaced with the newly generated and optimized ones. Run RegCompact.NET at least once a month and after program installation and uninstallation to ensure your registry remains optimized. Requires the .NET Framework 1.1

ERUNT can backup the registry and restore it directly from Windows, from "safemode" and from a boot disk, also includes an optional registry optimizer. The registry is one of the most important parts in every Windows system and quite sensitive to corruption, it is very advisable to backup its according files from time to time. Though the registry in an NT-based Windows is less likely to become corrupted than in other versions, it can still happen, and for these cases NT is simply missing an option for easy registry backup and restore. System Restore cannot be used for a "restore" should a corrupted registry prevent Windows from booting and the "Export registry" function in Regedit is USELESS (!) for making a *complete* backup of the registry.

The registry files in an NT-based system can become fragmented over time, occupying more space on your hard disk than necessary and decreasing overall performance. Use the NTREGOPT utility regularly, but especially after installing or uninstalling a program, to minimize the size of the registry files and optimize registry access. The program works by recreating each registry hive "from scratch", thus removing any slack space that may be left from previously modified or deleted keys. Note that the program does NOT change the contents of the registry in any way, nor does it physically defrag the registry files on the drive (as the PageDefrag program from SysInternals does). The optimization done by NTREGOPT is simply compacting the registry hives to the minimum size possible.

RegScanner is a small utility that allows you to scan the Registry, find the desired Registry values that match to the specified search criteria, and display them in one list.
