What do these following extensions mean in the registry files and are
any safe to delete? .evt .Evt .rrr .log .sav ?
I have these regsitry files on my system. Since I am running two operating
systems I was able to copy these files to the root directory and defragment
them. Software was in the most fragments. I then moved them back. My system
seems to accept the newly defraged files. Now these files will never
fragment again right?
The "registry" file that you defragged what would the extension be??
There is a difference between a "registry" file and files that end with the
listed
extensions.
So that poses the question of what you actually "defragged" ???
A quick and simple explanation of defrag: moving the files on a harddrive so
that they are
all in order. When writing a file to the HD it does not necessarily go all
in one place. That
file could be scattered in different fragments over empty spaces on your HD.
Defrag finds those fragments and puts them together.

what you may want to try is to make
a system restore point then move them
to the recycle bin and if you computer stays
functional, forget about them.

Have you ever run anything like Registry Mechanic, Registry Fixup,
Registry TuneUp... You know - those kinds of programs?

Yes but they charge for those and I personally don't think they're worth
the money. I do have a program called regclean.exe that I use.
When I was using win98 you could export the entire hive into one file. I
don't know that exporting and importing can be done with XP'x regedit.
