Optimize Windows registry and improve the performance of your computerKeeping your registry clean is always a good idea. The Windows Operating System utilizes a registry system to store information about the Operating System itself, settings and personal preferences of the user, and the software installed on the computer. The importance of the Windows registry data cannot be emphasized enough. Without the registry, the Operating System will fail to function. This will happen even if a small piece of data in the file becomes corrupted, or is missing.It is important that you always create a backup of your registry before modifying it. This includes whether you modify it manually, or through the use of third-party software to do it for you. The easiest way to backup your registry is to create a, "System Restore Point." Here are the simple steps for creating a System Restore Point. 1) Open the, "Control Panel." 2) Click on the, "Performance and Maintenance" icon. 3) In the left column you will see a tab which reads, "See also," below that you should see System Restore. Go ahead and click on that. 4) To set the System Restore Point, just follow the prompts. It is pretty straight forward and no special knowledge is required. Now that you have backed up the System Registry, you can now optimize your registry and improve the performance of your computer. The registry is very similar to the hard drive in the way that it works. Since the data of the registry in actually stored in a single file, as information is added and, or removed it leaves gaps in the information which is known as fragmenting. As you add programs and additional settings to your registry it grows in size. This causes the computer to have to read even more data when accessing the registry data file. The larger the file grows, the more time it takes for the computer to read it. While it is possible to manually clean the registry, it is not very reliable, nor is it productive to do so. With all of the information contained within the data file it would simply be too time consuming to do so, not to mention the almost inevitable mistakes made when deleting the wrong data. There is free software available which does a very nice job of cleaning unneeded information from the registry, as well as defragmenting it. In general, I do not like using software developed by unknown companies, but I tried a product named "PC Washer", and I found that it performed above and beyond many other products on the market. The great thing about this software is that it not only cleans out the registry, but it also performs many other maintenance task, such as cleaning up your web surfing history, and finding unneeded files and DLLs on your computer. Our next piece of software is one that I use in conjunction with the registry cleaning software, and that is, "Registry Clean Expert." It is another great piece of software by another obscure software producer known as, "iExpert Software." The software is free and does a great job defragmenting the registry file. It is very simple to use and in general it only takes a couple of mouse clicks to complete the process. It is also very fast and in no time you can be assured that your registry data is completely defragmented. An important note is to use the cleaner before you defrag the registry; otherwise you are defeating the purpose of the defragmentation process. These are the best free tools, for optimizing the Windows registry that I have found in over fifteen years on the Internet.  Tips: Use WinSysClean TM for automatical optimization.
