Keeping Your Registry Quick and Clean


Everyone prefers their computer set up in certain ways, whether it's screen resolutions, which side of the screen the taskbar is on, their favorite background, Windows theme, or application-specific settings. If you've ever used a friend's computer, or bought a new one, only to turn it on and feel lost, you've experienced what changes in the Registry can do. Unfortunately, if you've noticed your PC is running slower lately, programs generating random errors, the dreaded Blue Screen of Death, or files not opening like they used to, you've also experiencing what changes in the Registry can do.

The Registry changes every time you change a setting on your PC or install or uninstall things, such as antivirus software or your favorite games. With all these changes, over time the Registry can become bloated and full of errors. This results in a slower computer and can cause crashes and errors requiring time and money to fix your PC.

Making changes to the Registry manually is a daunting task, even with the included Windows Registry Editor. The Registry has been a vital part of Windows for a long time, because of this, terms used within it and the way it functions can look like nonsense, even to an experienced PC user. The Registry is now a sprawling list of abbreviated terms, with settings in multiple places, and almost no help available to assist you in making sense of it. This process, when performed manually, could take hours and cause more problems, rather than fix your PC. With the importance of the Registry, any changes made should not be taken lightly, one improper change and your computer can go from a powerhouse to a paperweight.

Many users now choose to do their registry cleaning with automated software. A popular example of these registry repair tools is Cheesesoft's Registry Easy. With this software, the process of registry repair and PC tune ups, including registry cleaning, is taken out of the world of the power users and technicians, and made quick and simple enough for anyone to do. After loading the program and using its one-click PC tune up options, many run-time errors, driver issues, file association problems and general slowdowns can be fixed in a matter of minutes. Combining this with proper security programs, such as antivirus and firewall applications, can recover you computer's lost speed and regular use will ensure it keeps it.
