I would never use it. When I get clogged up I do a format and rebuild.
Over the years I have probably averaged twice a year.
As infinitely painful as it is.... this is the best advice.
If you're a simple user like The Freak, I might agree. For those who
have lots of applications they use and would have to reinstall, it's a
bloody waste of time.
Registry Mechanic does a decent job. Vista and Win 7 both do a good
job of keeping the disc defragged.
Two of the aspects of Windozes I don't miss:
the registry
the need to defrag hard drives
There is no registry in the Apple OS, and it is pretty simple to remove
a program and all its pieces and parts. Also, the OS seems to keep the
drive(s) pretty much defragged on its own.
Backups and restores are much easier, too.
But I still like Windoze.
