RegPack Tab

RegPack Screen - press the RegPack button to rebuild the registry.
During the RegPack process, there will be a pause while the registry is rebuilt (this should only take about a minute), then Windows will restart to implement the new regpacked registry.  This often fixes and makes the registry smaller.  Let me explain why this is so.

Why RegPack is so important.  The Registry is a database.  Think of it as a chart with rows and columns.  When an entry is removed, the entry is made into a blank entry.  It still occupies the same amount of space that it occupied before. This is neccessary so that the information below it is still in the same place.  When new items are added to the registry, they are added at the bottom.  So over time, the registry ends up with a lot of blank cells.  RegPack removes these blank cells by writing the information to a file and rebuilding it from the top down.
