I'm looking for open source or freeware registry defrag app, preferably one who doesn't need a stupid .exe installer. .zip packed and ready to go prefered!
I'm using Windows 7.

PageDefrag is from the Sysinternals Suite and does what you're looking for.

Well your paranoia will probably make this suggestion useless, but if you don't mind the known issues (no UAC and a minor fixable error), the venerable NTREGOPT will work on Windows 7...

Confirmed to work and not break anything on Windows 7 x64. – Tamara Wijsman – 2010-07-29T19:30:57.397
The site says to turn off UAC, but running it as an admin is just fine. – Tamara Wijsman – 2010-07-29T19:32:06.617

It can defragment Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000/NT4 registry in two modes: "Optimize for speed" and "Optimize for size".

Ugh, I forgot to mention I'm using Windows 7 – Grumpy ol' Bear – 2010-07-27T14:42:44.773

2That may very well be, but I don't trust an app designed for XP/2000 registry architecture to run on Win7 registry architecture. I'm paranoid. – Grumpy ol' Bear – 2010-07-27T15:01:20.493
