NTREGOPT is a registry optimization tool for Windows. This program compacts the registry to the minimum size possible by removing any slack space that may be left after installing or uninstalling applications in the system. Note that this program does not modify the registry contents in any way.<\/p>\n
NTREGOPT can be run in silent mode using the Important:<\/b> You should restart the system immediately because any changes made to the registry after NTREGOPT has been run are lost after the reboot. The user is supposed to close all running applications before continuing the registry optimization process. In this case, we’re going to launch NTREGOPT using a VBScript so that the user is cautioned about a system restart that’ll take place after optimization is complete.<\/p>\n Also, do not<\/b> run NTREGOPT when updates (from Windows Update) are pending to be installed, or when a reboot is already pending.<\/p>\n Follow these preliminary steps first:<\/p>\n 1. Open Task Scheduler from Control Panel or by running the command control schedtasks<\/b> from Start, Search box. 8. In the Program\/script:<\/b> text box, mention the full path to NTREGOPT.VBS<\/b> (e.g. “D:\\Scripts\\NTREGOPT.VBS”)<\/p>\n 10. Click OK<\/b>, OK<\/b>.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve now created a new task to run registry optimization once in a week. When the Task runs, you’ll see message windows as shown below.<\/p>\n 11. At this point, save your work and close all running applications before clicking Yes<\/b>. If you plan to run NTREGOPT using a shortcut, here are the command-line parameters that you would like to know. Simply running NTREGOPT.EXE without any switches, will work as well.<\/p>\n Description of the command line switches:<\/p>\n NTREGOPT is a registry optimization tool for Windows.
