Do I Need a Registry Cleaner?

[Guest voujnbwuotkd@yahoo.com]

my registry. Will that really help, and how can I do that?"

Cleaning the Registry

Yes, your computer will run better if you occasionally clean your

Windows system registry. But first, let's define exactly what the

registry is. The registry is a database in which Windows keeps track

of relationships between hardware and software. It stores all the

settings and options for the operating system, hardware, software,

users, and preferences of the PC. The registry manages your system

startup options, and keeps track of all software that's installed.

Prior to the introduction of the Registry in Windows 95, each software

package had it's own INI files to store configuration settings. These

files tended to be scattered all over the hard drive, which made them

difficult to keep track of. The centralized registry does consolidate

all that information, but it has its own problems. Since it is a

single point of failure, damage to the Registry can render a Windows

system unbootable, and in extreme cases can only be fixed by

reinstalling the operating system. (That's why backups are

important!)...

No one needs spam or a registry cleaner.

Yes, you really do need to clean ur registry ocassionally.

On my Win 98, After I remove a piece of software, I run

RegCleaner

http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-download/archives/reg-cleaner4.3.htm

It can remove most of the left over items in the registry regarding that

software.

Immediately after that I run

RegSeeker.

http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm

It gets the remaining unneeded/unwanted trash items.

 

Example: Suppose you down load a piece of software off internet and

place is a folder. A couple of days later, you decide you don't need

that software and you delete it. That put items in your reistery

that should be removed.

 

Always use caution when removing anything in the reistry.

Utter nonsense.
