Registry Cleaners and Optimizers
My friends often ask me what a registry cleaner is. They say “What exactly is a registry cleaner and why do I really need one?” This has made it apparent to me that many people don’t know much about registry cleaners and optimizers. Before you can understand what registry cleaners and optimizers are, it is important to know what a reigstry is itself.
A registry is a system file that is used by Windows to run all the basic proccesses on your computer. This includes things like running software programs. The file indexes entries in a way that it can be easily accessed by Windows so that your computer knows what to do and how. In a way this is an operations road map for your computer, it uses the registry to find and execute functions.
As you can see the registry is an extremely important part of the workings of your computer. The problem is that over time the registry can become full of junk entries that can clog up the index. This can be caused by installing and uninstalling programs and by viruses. Even if a program or virus is completely removed from your computer, it will likely leave a trail in the registry.
This is a problem because if there are a lot of them it can slow down your computer’s processing time. If Windows is searching through the roadmap registry to find a certain function it will take much longer if it has to search through a bunch of junk.
You can think of it as being similar to papers accumulating on your desk. If your desk is completely covered in junk, miscalaneous papers, then it will be very difficult to find what you are looking for. Your computer is no different.
Registry Cleaners and Optimizers essentially, clean the miscalaneous papers of your desk so that it is easy to use again. You can also imagine that you are using a dictionary to find definitions that is printed in Chinese and English, if you try to use it with a bunch of Chinese characters that you don’t understand all over the place it will take longer to find what you are looking for. The registry cleaners will remove the Chinese from your dictionary and make it much easier to operate.
There are many high quality free registry cleaning software available. Three of the best are Registry Easy, Registry Fix and PC SpeedScan Pro. I personally find that Registry Easy is the best one to use and is the one i would recommend to you.
I have provided links to all three so that you may try them out yourself:
