Manually Editing the Registry

July 21st, 2010 No comments

One of the primary functions of a Registry cleaner is obviously to clean out the Registry. But what exactly does this mean?

Well the Registry is the control center of the Windows operating system. It holds keys and data that provide instructions for your operating system. It is very easy for the Registry to become overloaded with invalid keys, corrupt data and more. Everytime you install software, new keys are added to the Registry, if you get infected with Adware or Spyware, this also adds bloat to the Registry.

You can manually edit the Windows Registry, but this is usually a very bad idea and not recommended at all. Anyway, for information purposes only, we will show you how you can access the Registry.

To open the Windows Registry, just type “regedit” into the Windows quick search box, or for XP, click Start->Run, then type in “regedit” and click OK.

Now you can see all the different settings and keys that exist. It can be very confusing. From this window you can also export the Registry or import a previously saved Registry. If you browse around you will start to notice different keys and settings for all parts of the system. Do not edit anything unless you really know what you are doing. One incorrect edit can affect your entire system and leave it inoperable.

So that is the Registry and Registry cleaners are developed to process the entire Registry and clean out all the junk. As you can see, it can be a very difficult task if performed manually.

Better than a Registry Cleaner

We have recently used a new product that totally rocks for PC optimization. This is way better than any Registry cleaner we have used, because it incorporates everything to do with PC optimization into one package. Not only will it clean the Registry, but it will optimize the hard disk, fix processes, remove duplicate items, repair startup items and even remove Malware.

The results we have witnessed were really cool and this was on XP and Windows 7 computers. You can of course get a free download to test out all the functionality. This software is called PC Health Advisor, to read the full PC Health Advisor review and get the download, just follow the link.
