Before we start
discussing the need to clean registry for better and faster computing, let us
take a look at what registry is? Registry is an integral part of Windows
operating system.
Windows
registry is used by the operating system to store information about the
hardware and software configurations, network settings, display settings, user
account details and other information about different components of the PC.
|
From the Windows 95 version,
Microsoft introduced this technique of keeping the system information in a
registry. Prior to Windows 95, these data were stored in the INI files that
were randomly stored in the hard disk. It made the operating system slower as
it took more time to access these data. But the introduction of registry solved
this problem and made the operating system much faster and efficient.

How the registry errors get accumulated?
Whenever we make changes to the PC settings
through the control panel, install or uninstall a program and add or remove
hardware components the Windows registry gets modified and new entries are
generated in the registry. All these entries are not used by the system,
especially the outdated entries are of no use and they only make the registry
heavier in size and clog up registry.
|
Besides, the embedded keys that are
generated by the malware programs, stains of faulty installation and fragmented
entries all these add up to the
registry errors.
|
Why do we need a registry cleaner?
With all these wrong entries within the Windows
registry, the system gets slower as the operating system takes more time to
retrieve the required information from the registry. If these errors are not
cured with a
registry cleaner from time to time the PC becomes prone to frequent
problems. Moreover, with the entries made by the malware programs in the
registry your PC is also vulnerable to further threats of the malware attacks.
|
Therefore, it is very much
important that you clean the registry on regular intervals. There are so many
sources on the internet from where you can download a
free registry fix program. All you need to do is scan the registry with
the software and it will remove all the errors in the registry without
modifying the valid entries. You can also schedule the scanning process that
will further relieve you from running the scan every time. With the advanced
software you can also back up the registry file to restore in case of any
problem.
