Little Registry Optimizer1.0

Almost every application goes through your registry system, and uninstalling those programs can leave traces that affect the functionality and stability of your system. However, all this can be avoided by performing cleaning operations and optimization, and this is easily done with the help of applications like Little Registry Optimizer.

Lightweight and easy to use

It takes a little while to get the application up and running. Although .NET Framework is a required component, it’s bundled in the installer, and recent Windows iterations come with it as a default feature. What’s more, there’s also Portable Little Registry Optimizer you can use on the go.The application’s main window is pretty simplistic, with several sections that provide general info about your system and past activities, so you know whether or not optimization needs to be performed. In addition, you can choose to have a backup automatically created, which is a good thing, because you don’t want to risk making your PC unstable.

Only compacts system registries

First off, the application needs to scan your system to see whether or not registries need optimizing. It’s best to cease all other activities so registries are not used in the process, because it can have a negative impact on both scanning and optimization.However, the application isn’t quite what you’d expect, or at least not entirely. Optimization only refers to reducing the registry structure size so it takes less space, with no possibility to see if there are any errors, let alone fix them. When scanning is done, a pie chart shows how much space can be saved, but there’s no list to view if any keys get modified, and what are those keys.

In conclusion

All things considered, we can say that Little Registry Optimizer leaves more to be desired overall, with its simplicity doing more harm than good in this situation. Sure enough, you can compact the whole registry system for slightly faster boot time, but you’re not shown what’s going on under the hood, and it’s best to look for alternatives for a more thorough approach on optimization and cleaning.
