Optimize and Improve
68 TuneUp Utilities 2006
After you confirm this message, TuneUp RegistryDefrag grays the screen and
shows a wait dialog to indicate that you cannot use the computer. During the
analysis, a small clock blinks in the upper left corner of the window to show that
the software is working. Under Windows 2000 and XP, a progress bar is also
shown to inform you of the progress of the analysis. There is no need to worry
even if this bar does not move for several minutes. On heavily used systems, it
can take some time to analyze the entire registry.
Next, the module shows the results of the analysis. If there is potential for
optimization, you will be told by how many percent and kilobytes the size of the
registry can be reduced.
Defragmenting the Registry
If TuneUp RegistryDefrag determines that your registry can be defragmented,
click Finish to begin defragmenting. TuneUp RegistryDefrag must restart your
computer for this.
While the computer is restarting, the new registry is created and the old one
deleted. As soon as Windows restarts, your new registry is already being used.
The program has done its job and does not need to be opened again.
