When your computer’s performance appears degraded, there is a high probability that the computer’s registry needs fixing. Why? If all of its electrical and mechanical parts work, the ailment will probably be located in an area called the computer system registry.
So what is this registry? It’s a huge database containing all of the properties and settings for each installed application along with configuration information for your system’s hardware, peripherals, and users.
Why have a registry? In early operating systems, when you wanted to install a new program, you just copied it onto the computer’s hard drive and ran it. As programs got larger they had to be broken into task-specific modules. These modules were maintained in “libraries" and could be used in different programs.
This led to the object-oriented programming concept. In this style of programming each object has a set of qualities or capabilities that define it as well as a number of supporting component modules or resources. They are stored in different memory locations on your computer’s hard drive. The registry keeps track of the parts of all installed programs - like a phone directory - so the Windows operating system can find the parts as needed.
How is the registry corrupted? The registry is updated automatically when you change any configuration through normal means. However, the removal of programs without comprehensive uninstall packages will leave register file and path traces. A good example would be when you remove adware or spyware. These are the insidious programs that attach to your computer during your internet activity and of course do not come with an uninstall package. These program traces add up and will slow computer response eventually causing a crash.
How do you fix the computer registry when nearly every technical book on the subject strongly cautions against “do-it-yourself" registry repairs? This type of ailment is something you can safely repair almost automatically. The place to start is with a scan of your computer’s registry. There are good registry cleaners available offering a free program download and registry scan.
Downloading a registry cleaner and running the free scan will give you a summary list of the type and number of problems your registry has thus allowing a repair decision. At this point, the registry cleaner program may offer you the option to upgrade adding registry repair capability, backup, and repeat scan/repair scheduling. With these capabilities, the program can automatically and safely repair the problems and or errors found by the free scan.

Robert, If my article was about a registry editor type of program, you would be quite correct. However, there are several good commercially available registry cleaners that will automatically do the job without your intervention. Per reviews however, the available programs do not all perform the same. My article was meant to point out what the registry is, what can go wrong, how you can fix it, and where you can get today's top rated registry cleaner. There are other cleaner programs but they do not do all that this one does. You can set this one up on your scheduler and it automatically does its job. Hope this helps.....Noel
