Scanreg /fix /opt

[brvb]

Any comments on the above registry optimizing commands? Is the 'fix' command good to use for routine 'maintenance'? For reorganizing the registry, as I've been told? Or is this recommended for registry 'repair' only? The 'opt' I think speaks for its self, for compacting,& commpressing the registry. Comments on 'fix' would be apprecieated.!

I use this sometimes in a batch file of the form

scanreg /fix
scanreg /opt

without any problems but I don't have any detailed info about it. You may find what you are looking for here...

a easier, or other way..?

Thanks for the reply!

Create a text file with a .bat extension. You could call it "MYSCAN.BAT" When you are finished you will be able to type "myscan" at the MSDos prompt to run the batch file. You could also make a shortcut to it if you want.
Making sure you hit the enter key at the end of the last line, place the following text in the file;

@echo off
scanreg /fix
scanreg /opt

Don't run that batch file within Windows. It should only be run from a DOS prompt outside of windows. The "@echo off" line isn't required.
