Guest jeremiah wright Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 What is the registry? The registry is a database that stores information necessary to configure the system for your computers users, applications, and hardware devices. Why does it need to be cleaned (repaired)? Every time you install software on your computer, change a system setting, delete a program, all the changes are kept in the registry. Over time, your registry grows, however, it also can end up fragmented and full of unwanted registry items. These unwanted items occur by removing attributes of programs or deleting programs you no longer want without using the Add or Remove Programs function. Some programs do not always come with proper uninstall programs, so you are only able to delete a portion of the program. Or possibly you have moved a file, and now the program that used this file is unable to find it or it's an orphan file left over from an unsuccessful attempt to delete a program completely. In short, over time you end up with numerous misplaced files and objects which your computer can not process, this can slow your computer considerably, make start-up take forever and sometimes cause errors that will "crash" your computer....
