Windows Registry Cleaner - Download Free Registry Software

[Guest voujnbwuotkd@yahoo.com]

I'm sure that most people don't have any idea as to what a computer

registry is unless you are a computer technician or expert. It is

basically a database which stores various different settings and

options utilised by your computer. The information consists of the

various software programs which are installed on your computer,

hardware, operating system information and various other user

preferences. So basically any time you add, remove or make changes to

your software you change or edit an entry in your registry.

Having said this you can understand why it is so easy to get registry

problems. The average pc user will continuously add and remove

software applications over a course of time. These constant additions

and removals of software will result in broken files and residuals

which will litter your hard drive, consequently making it perform

slower and less responsive. This is why it is so important to make

sure that you maintain a healthy system by making use of registry

cleaners which keep your system in good health.If this central system

component becomes too erroneous it can result in the destruction of

you entire operating system. This means that you will either have to

reformat you computer or pay a repair technician to fix it for you....

This is not only spam, it's terrible advice. For anybody reading the

above (snipped from a longer post) who might be tempted to believe it,

registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the

registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and

don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and

what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,

having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

 

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously

removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit

it may have.

The biggest benefit to storing program preferences in the registry is

that each user on the computer can then maintain a separate set of

preferences.

 

Other than that, it's a data base of all kinds of information that

lots of different parts of the OS use. Everything from information on

your hardware, to filetype associations, to counts of programs that

use each DLL (which are supposed to be maintained by the install and

uninstall utilities for each program). My problems with it are

primarily two: it cannot be read except by using MS's proprietary

routines, making it difficult to impossible to repair damage that

prevents your system from booting; and it's a HUGE single point of

failure. Unix systems do the same thing with a plethora of text files.

If one gets screwed, it's not likely to be a total disaster, and it

can be fixed with a text editor. Not so with the registry.

=================

 

There are two persisten myths floating about:

a) A PC slows down as its disk fills up.

b) It slows down as the registry grows.

 

Claim a) is false unless the file system is heavily fragmented or

unless you're accessing folders with tens of thousands of files

inside.

 

Claim b) is false but is heavily promoted by companies selling

"registry cleaners". While registries often have hundreds of unused

entries, removing them makes no difference at all to a PC's speed.

If you think it does then you should perform some controlled tests

and measure the results with your stop watch.

Re: Spam

 

I would guess that my computer should be slowed to a crawl with

"bloat" as I have around fifty or sixty programs installed.

But...it is NOT bloated and is as perky as when I got it new

three years ago. Routine maintenance is the key to good

performance. Most computers come with suggestions for

maintenance and most programs have help screens galore.

 

Microsoft forums and usergroup sites such as this one can

certainly assist if one has questions regarding tasks such as

defragmenting, disk clean-ups, etc.

It's "terrible advice" because it IS spam!. Never, ever trust spammed

information or sources for anything, no matter how tempting it is. The

And that's about as big a piece of bull-chit as is spam. This closed

so he can climb out from the darkness and make his snake oil

some flaw in what they said. But, like I said ... it's a closed mind

there about "registry cleaners".

I suspect this person hasn't read anything legitimate or reality based

about the registry since the first year it showed up. I can agree that

a few leftover entries in the registry are no problem since it's just

text files that are read very, very quickly, but ... to say "never" as

implied above, is silly. In one short paragraph I could give you

instructions on how to work with your registry and end up with a

woefully slow machine, without putting a single useless entry into the

registry or mangling anything in the registry. With a little background

and experience, it's not all that illogical either. I'm NOT going to do

that here of course, since I consider it unethical. My point is, the

registry is not a big mystery if one digs into it a bit and you do NOT

have to be an expert on the registry to know how it works.

And that is also false, since all decent registry "cleaners" backup any

changes they make AND include an Undo in case something does

accidentally get caught in the process. In fact, most of them even

advise the user that it could happen with certain programs and include

them in their readme files. At this point in time though, it almost

never happens. It's a thing of the past with XP in particular, so that

warning isn't all that relevant. They are just like any other program

in that you can undo things.

Additionally, this person likes to talk as though the only thing the

registry contains is instructions for the operating system. Far from

it. It also includes instructions for nearly every application

installed on the computer and even a bunch of internet links, shortcuts

and other incidentals.

 

So, can it dummy. Either open those few brain cells you have left that

aren't burned out, or get off the pot. Or better yet, move to Linux; if

you can figure out how to use it.

Pot, kettle (since YOU NEVER have posted any accurate data, even when

asked).

This would almost be funny, if it weren't so pathetic. (Talking about

projection, this one really takes the cake).

Whatever you say, Rush. :-)

 

Oh, and be sure to come back with "your accurate data" substantiating your

Or better yet, move over to talk radio with the dittoheads.

Re: Windows Registry Cleaner - Download Free Registry Software

 

Yup, and so could ANY other program/application/code.

I didn't say it was "necessary".

I didn't say it would never cause damage. ANY software can cause

damage. Even Microsoft's own code, in fact.

I did put things in a logical, normal and truthful, perspective.
