What's new in Reg Organizer 9.41

Mar 12, 2024
  • The cookies, cache, and browsing history cleanup of the Opera browser has been updated to match the latest changes in the browser itself.

New in Reg Organizer 9.40 (Feb 5, 2024)

New in Reg Organizer 6.0 (Jan 22, 2013)

  • Tweaks - the tool which is intended for changing the hidden and hard-to-get-to options of the operating system - has been revamped. Here are some changes:
  • Quick tune-up groups have been added. With their help, it is possible to optimize the specific aspects of the operating system functioning with a few mouse clicks. For example, when working with the Internet or system, load and unload time can be optimized.
  • The number of tweaks available in the program for manual changing by the user was increased.
  • For more experienced users, an option was added to create their own tweaks and share them with other users. Also the created tweaks can be exported so that Reg Organizer won’t be needed to open them. Any registry editing tool will do, for example, the standard regedit.exe from the operating system.
  • Safer working with the tweaks: any changing can be easily undone. A button for opening the Undoing Changes Center has been added to the right lower corner of the Tweaks tool window.
  • Windows 8 support (the rest of the tools of Reg Organizer supported it before as well).
  • A new tweak has been added: "Hide Recycle Bin from Desktop".
  • The Registry Editor tool:
  • The ability to start the registry editor quickly, directly from Windows, even if Reg Organizer is not open. To do this, you just enter the alias “rrr” in the Run window (it appears when pressing the Win + R keys combination in Windows), in the search field of the Start Menu, or the Start screen of Windows 8. This will result in opening the registry editor of Reg Organizer. The confirmation window of the User Account Control (UAC) feature of Windows won’t be displayed.
  • In the input field of the search string, a hint will be displayed with information about where the search will be performed (in the entire Registry or separate key), in accordance with the current settings.
  • Toolbar is nestled than before: The Registry File button has been removed because it’s rarely used, and its commands can now be found on context menus.
  • You can switch between the main window controls by pressing the Tab key on the keyboard, without using the mouse.
  • Registry settings are sorted alphabetically as in the standard registry editor (regedit.exe).
  • The behaviour of the registry editor key entering field has been improved when manually typing the key.
  • Adding and displaying the registry items in Favorites has been improved.
  • When creating a registry value, the focus by default will be set to its name. When editing, it will be set to the value's data.
  • The Express Check function now works faster.
  • Usability improvement: The Important Registry Parts tool's sections are
  • now sorted so that the most popular ones are shown first.
  • Disk Cleanup tool:
  • By default, the program deletes shortcuts pointing to files that do not exist. However, you can enable the repair of such files instead of deletion (that’s the way these files were handled in the previous versions).
  • When a file is deleted, the program creates a record in the Undoing Changes Center.
  • The Undoing Changes Center is an updated feature allowing you to rollback
  • changes made to the system registry using Reg Organizer:
  • The changes made to the system registry while using the registry tool of Reg Organizer can be cancelled. For example, if you’ve accidentally deleted an important key during the registry editing, it can be easily restored.
  • For each backup, you can see what registry items are affected by it.
  • Automatic deletion of obsolete backups.
  • The ability to rename backups. With this function, it is possible to specify any keywords in the backup's name allowing you to easily distinguish one backup from another.
  • Fixed bugs:
  • Registry snapshot comparison function didn't work under Windows Vista or higher if the classic color theme was enabled.
  • The message "TTaskDialog requires themes to be enabled" could also be shown under the same conditions while working with the installing applications with tracing function.
  • When an application was removed using the Application Uninstaller tool, a message "For safety purposes a system restore point has been created" was shown even if a restore point wasn't created.
  • Some interface elements were not displayed correctly if very large font is enabled in the system settings.
  • The program could hang if the user added too many items to the ignore list of the Registry Cleanup or Disk Cleaner.
  • Fixed bug: The program has an option for moving the unwanted files to a specified folder. The program did not exclude that folder from scanning when the option was enabled. As a result, the program used to scan that folder and find previously processed files again.

  • An ability to copy a key to any registry key. In the previous version, the location of the key to which the key could be copied and that of the original key had to be the same.
  • The Favorites function supports adding both keys and parameters.
  • The following registry value types are now supported (this includes displaying and editing): REG_RESOURCE_LIST, REG_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS_LIST and REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR.
  • Upon exiting the registry editor, the program remembers the last key the user worked with and opens it at the next registry editor start (this feature can be disabled in the program settings).

New in Reg Organizer 5.0 RC1 (Nov 25, 2009)

  • The release candidate of Reg Organizer 5.0, the suite of tools for maintenance and optimization of system registry, is available for download. In addition to minor bug fixes, Reg Organizer has undergone some important changes that make the program easier and more convenient for users.

New in Reg Organizer 5.0 Beta 6 (Nov 11, 2009)

  • The newest version of Reg Organizer delivers an enhanced registry optimization tool. Now the system enters a special protected mode before
  • registry optimization. In this mode, the screen goes dark (except the optimization window of Reg Organizer) and the user cannot use other
  • applications while the optimization process is in progress. Once compression and defragmentation are finished, the screen is restored to its normal state. All this makes the process more secure.

New in Reg Organizer 5.0 Beta 4 (Sep 3, 2009)

  • The program supports the Windows 7 operating system.
  • The progress now displayed when preparing data to show on the "File Extensions" part of the Manual Registry Cleanup function.
  • On choosing the "Show This Item in Registry Editor" command in the results list of the Automatic Registry Cleanup function, the registry item being displayed opens in a new copy of Reg Organizer, instead of switching to the registry editor in the same copy, as happened in the previous version.
  • Ignore lists of Automatic Registry Cleanup and Disk Cleanup: logic improved, the ability to add files to Ignore List from the Disk Cleanuo results added.
  • Bugs fixed.

New in Reg Organizer 5.0 Beta 3 (Aug 5, 2009)

  • Added an ability to check for program updates. To do that, run the "Check for Updates" command in the "Help" submenu of the main menu.
  • Added the "Tip of the Day" feature in the "Help" menu.
  • Improved navigation from the automatic cleanup results page to the registry editor (to view invalid entries) and back.
  • Bug fixed: some context menu commands in the window displaying the registry items associated with the selected entry in the manual cleanup feature doesn't work.
  • The program shows a warning message if a startup item cannnot be disabled (for instance, this can occur with startup items related to the antivirus software).

New in Reg Organizer 5.0 Beta 2 (Aug 5, 2009)

  • The "Registry parts" panel in the Manual Registry Cleanup mode now can be resized.
  • Bugs fixed:
  • The "Invalid data type for "" error could occur when using the Automatic Registry Cleanup feature.
  • The "Stop" button in the Automatic Registry Cleanup feature does not work.
  • Other major bugs.

New in Reg Organizer 5.0 Beta 1 (Jul 22, 2009)

  • The first beta version of Reg Organizer 5, the utility designed for comprehensive maintenance of the Microsoft Windows system registry, has been released. The utility supports a wide range of operations with the system registry varying from cleaning, optimization, and find-and-replace operations to editing of registry files and more.
  • Reg Organizer 5 improves user-friendliness and enhances the functionality of the tool. The user interface was completely revamped. Management tools were enhanced, and new controls that facilitate the use of the program were added.
  • The new registry editor enables users to easily edit registry files and even create complete registry files without exiting the registry editor. Sometimes it is necessary to create assembled registry files to transfer the settings of different applications. However, standard system tools provide no easy way to perform these operations. Reg Organizer 5 can help solve these problems. To learn more about the new registry editor, read Reg Organizer 5: The New Registry Editor Features
  • Reg Organizer’s automatic registry and disc cleanup functions were implemented in the form of step-by-step wizards. Now you can easily and quickly perform automatic cleaning step-by-step without additional questions or other difficulties. To learn more about the automatic cleaning function, see Reg Organizer 5: New Features in Automatic Registry Cleanup.
  • The capabilities of the manual registry cleanup function were enhanced, with some of the functions being automated. For example, you no longer have to pay attention to 100% of the errors while searching for the ones you want to delete. The utility now highlights them automatically and prompts you to correct them. Also, a new type of data grouping will allow you to customize the manual cleaning mode to accomodate your needs. To learn more about the manual cleaning function, see Reg Organizer 5: The New Manual Registry Cleanup Features.
  • Reg Organizer 5 supports enhanced registry fine-tuning functions (including new functions compatible with Windows Vista), provides an updated interface for the Add or Remove Programs function, and features a new function of the system express analysis that can roughly evaluate the status of the system immediately after the program is launched.

New in Reg Organizer 4.23 Beta 1 (Feb 9, 2009)

  • Minor fixes and improvements in the Manual Registry Cleanup mode.
  • The extensions of some files with Reg Organizer data have been changed because some "aggressive" disk cleanup programs used to delete these files. This resulted in the "Error in CRC module" error at Reg Organizer startup forcing users to reinstall the program.
  • This bug has been fixed: Sometimes after an attempt to delete files on the Startup Applications tab in the Manual Registry Cleanup mode, they were not actually deleted.

New in Reg Organizer 4.20 Final (Dec 4, 2007)

  • Disk Cleanup mode: Now you can clear temporary folders (the so-called "Clean folders"). All files, regardless of their types, will be deleted from the specified folders. / Faster disk scan.
  • Manual Registry Cleanup mode: An "IE Context Menu" tab has been added. It shows items from the Internet Explorer context menu. You can remove unnecessary items. / The algorithms of tabs showing the items on the New File and Open With... operating system menus have been more clearly defined and revised (in the previous version the content of these tabs could be somewhat different from the corresponding menus of the operating system).
  • Improvements in the Registry Search and Replace mode: The find and replace feature now supports Registry entry values of the REG_MULTI_SZ type (a multi-line string). / To make them more visual, coincidences in strings are highlighted in bold in the table with search results. / If you find and then replace matches, Reg Organizer shows the number of replaced matches. (Only the number of found matches was previously shown, and it could have been different from the number of replaced matches when Reg Organizer could not replace some matches.)
  • Applications Uninstall mode: A more visual representation of the application uninstall report is provided. Now both successfully completed stages of application removal and those that had errors are graphically highlighted. / The removing log file button was moved from the Application Uninstallation window to the toolbar of the Logged Applications tab.
  • Registry Editing mode: When opening keys from Favorites, they are automatically expanded. / When selecting a key from the drop-down list containing the previously displayed keys, the program automatically opens the selected key. (Previously it was only displayed in the key input field.) / When quickly scrolling through the tables of data, the content does not flicker any more. / Reg Organizer restores the width of all table columns in the main window. / The documentation has been updated. / The memory leak has been fixed and, as a result, there is no performance degradation when you open the "New File Menu" tab in the Manual Registry Cleanup mode. / Registry Search and Replace mode: After you remove Registry entries, the total number of entries is now refreshed. / When saving the Registry search results to a text file, unnecessary (service) characters are no longer present in the strings containing the matches. / When editing entries of the DWORD type, the new value of the edited entry is now displayed in the "After Replacement" column. / If the "Whole words only" option was enabled, search strings located in the middle of a sentence were skipped and were not included in search results. / For automatic replacement in the registry, the value of an entry was not modified, but only its name was modified when the string for replacement was found both in the name and in the value of one entry.
  • In Applications Uninstall mode, when viewing file system changes the installed application made, the names of the modified, created, and deleted files were duplicated.
  • The "Skip hidden files and folders" and "Skip system files and folders" options in the Disk Cleanup settings were always considered disabled, even if they were selected.
