In my mind the answer to whether or not to clean your computers windows registry on your own is - absolutely not! Even if you happened to be the most skilled computer technician, I would still have to say no. The windows registry is extremely complicated and the slightest mistake could render your computer inoperable. The time it would take to manually scan,
identify the problems and then fix them wouldn't be time well spent. The following is a small sample of what you would have to look for:
Empty Registry Keys
Hidden Traces of Installed Software
Invalid Class Keys
Shell Extensions
Invalid Help Files
Invalid CLSID / Typelib / Interface Entries
Invalid Shared / Known DLLs
Com / ActiveX
Sound and App Events
Invalid Paths
Application Path Keys / Orphan References
Invalid Fonts
Invalid File Types / Extensions / Entries
Shared Folders
As you can see, this is not a simple process. There is no room for error.The Windows registry is the information center for your computer. The operating system accesses this information in order to keep track of the hardware and software that is installed on the computer and to perform the functions that you request .
Over time the cumulative affects of installing and uninstalling programs, deleting files, online gaming, email and surfing the net can result errors within the registry. These errors ultimately result in slow computer performance, crashes and frozen screens.
There is a very quick and effective way to fix your registry. The painless way to fix,clean and maintain your pc's registry is to download and run a registry cleaning software like RegCure. With regular maintenance and cleaning of your computers registry you can keep it operating smoothly and error free.
Registry cleaning using software is a fairly simple process. The registry software will start out by making a backup of your registry as a precaution. Then it will scan, identify the problems, and give you the option of fixing them manually or automatically. The typical consumer will choose to let the software perform the required fixes. The cleaning will basically defragment the registry(clean up empty spaces within the registry and compress data to make better use of space), repair any corrupt files,delete obsolete files, repair various system and registry errors and remove bugs.
It's so simple that everyone who owns a computer should buy a registry cleaner and perform preventative maintenance. No more relying on disappearing computer repair people, downtime and the frustration caused by poor PC performance and lost work.
