So what is the registry anyway..?

Posted: November 24th, 2010

We get a lot of questions about windows registry.

What is it? What does it do? How can I fix it?..

Let’s begin with what is the registry -

“Registry” is a part of the Windows database which stores all the information related to Windows applications and the configuration settings supporting it in a hierarchical structure. It comprises of keys, sub-keys and values. Each key comprises of values which store the relevant information. The registry must be clean, optimized and error-free to maintain proper functioning of the system. Whenever you install, uninstall, change file-types associations etc. – more entries are added to the registry. Obsolete, outdated and corrupt entries, cause the computer to slow down.

What can I do then?

That’s an easy one! We’ve developped Registry Commander for that sole purpose.

Registry Commander (RC) scans, and removes those unwanted entries. Registry Commander’s algorithm scans through the registry and identifies invalid Registry entries, and fixes them. Before changes to the registry are done, RC creates a back-up of the registry in case you accidentally delete important data. Therefore, RC is the safest and the most secured way to optimize your registry, and improve your PC performance.

Till the next time,
