Many users know that there are file fragments in the hard disk, but few know fragments also exist in registry. Actually the registry, just like hard drive, can also get fragmented.
As we all know that registry is one of the most used components of your Windows system because it comprises configuration data of all hardware devices and software programs installed on your PC. Therefore, registry can be affected by everything that used on your computer. As you add, remove, cut, copy and paste programs and files from your computer, it adds or removes information from your registry. Registry defragmentation occurs when the operating system cannot allocate enough continuous space in Windows registry to store a complete file as a unit, but instead puts parts of it in gaps between other files.
