A Look Inside Your Pc's Root Directory To See About The Registry
Everywhere you look you find web sites talking about fixing the pc's windows registry
. Now I know some people do not actually want to know how things work, but others like me want to know more. I simply would like to have a bit more info.
So what is this registry anyhow? You've probably read about its posts and errors and it becoming disorganized. OK, let's look at the registry itself and then maybe we will get a better grip on this problem area. It certainly seems that way to many people have computer and registry operating issues. To do this we can go inside to the pc's Registry Editor.
Here are two of the ways you can reach your Registry Editor and at least one direction ought to get you there no matter which operating system you have. First one, type Registry Editor into the system search located just on top of the Start button and click on search and you will see it. Or, second choice, go to Control Panel then to Accessories and then click on Run. Type in RegEdit. And then of course click the Registry Editor.
You have now reached the pc's root directory. Now do not mess with anything, unless you know more about this than I think you do. There's almost a 100 percent chance that there are items here that should not be, but it would be very unwise to start removing stuff in here.
You may have seen in earlier postings about my having a bookkeeping program on my computer and that I uninstalled it. Well as I look down the Registry Editor of my computer I see nearly 2 dozen entries still from that program as well as an associated program for inventory that was also uninstalled. Doing a program uninstall just doesn't remove these registry entries.
Your personal computer is probably just like mine. And as you examine your Registry Editor you can see logs on your own computer that should not still be located there as well. But more importantly you can now perceive how a windows registry can get overloaded and just plain stopped up.
