Right above your post is this topic, it should lower your percentages http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=35458

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

I tried exactly what you said to try.  It did not increase or decrease percentage- still hung at 23%.  What does that mean exactly & is that anything to be concerned about?

This is concerning the free edition of Defraggler that I am having problems with.

Then if it were my machine I would clean out all but the last restore point as Vista seems to collect a lot of them.

(Please excuse the name of that site, I'm not insinuating that you are a dummy, however that site provides the clearest info on how to do this :))

 

After you have done this, close the dialog boxes and run Defraggler to see what percentage it shows now.

  I have just done a defrag of my hard drive.  Here is what I am seeing right after I defragged and analyzed.  Why are the fragmentation percentages so high and what does it mean?  I have deleted all restore points in the past & it does lower the percentages way down, but only for a very short time.  What procedure could I try in a sequence that you tell me in steps to see if it helps?  Computer has been VERY slow to load most any website lately and takes a long time to close out a website.

  Attached is a shot of an analyze right after I did a quick defrag.post-70247-0-03988500-1453852167_thumb.jpg

Vista tends to crate shadow copies for just about anything you do.

What size do you have set for system restore?

Fragmentation Percentages were at 39% today.  I removed all but the latest restore point and did a quick defrag.  The percentage dropped to 14% after that.  My question is how can I keep the percentages down without having to keep on removing restore points?

You can't, Windows is a messy child and begins fragmenting even while its being defragmented.
