How to Clean & Repair Windows Registry
Cleaning and repairing your windows registry is extremely easy to do with any of the commercially available registry repair software packages. All of the include a registry cleaner and will also make a registry backup each time you use the product or at set intervals that you can have the program run while your system is down or at night when you are not using it. There are literally hundreds of programs you can purchase or download from the internet at prices ranging from twenty dollars ($20) to over one hundred dollars ($100) for multiple systems and networks.
One of best registry repair software available is Registry Easy. You can see the registry easy review here. I have also used a free registry cleaner and defragmenter from a company called Auslogics and it puts a shortcut on your desktop to make access simple. It has one button start and runs an analysis and then a defragment function to streamline your Windows registry. When it is finished you can also access a log of what changes were made and the product also creates a new backup file for your system restore. You should check a variety of computer forums and see what other people recommend that they have used and like the results. There are a great deal of entries at CNET forums that will allow you to make an informed decision on finding a product that not only will perform registry repair but will serve as a registry cleaner as well.
Many freeware programs will offer limited scanning and repair and/or cleaning, but you need to buy the “Professional” version to get full functionality. With some research you can actually find free programs that will do the job. Your registry gets filled up with useless keys over time with the installing and uninstalling of various computer programs and files. The bigger your registry gets, the slower your system runs.
I run a program called CC Cleaner on my system daily that actually helps to eliminate and clean your hard drive of accumulated browser history, temporary internet files and more. It also contains a registry cleaner that has never caused problems with my system. Most people consider it a milder version because it does not go any deeper than most commercially available products, but it has done the job for me for well over a year.
Most registry problems can be handled by simple programs like CC Cleaner. If you have issues with the following, invalid ActiveX controls, Help Files, Paths, missing shared DLLs, obsolete start menu commands, sound and application events, invalid fonts, application paths, custom controls and Installer references, obsolete software keys and missing files and folders and unused file extensions,
You will need a more robust registry repair software which can be purchased online. I would recommend you to go through the Registry Fix Review as well as the Registry Easy Review before you buy a windows registry repair utility.
