subject: Best Windows 7 Registry Cleaner Tool [print this page] Author: James Kern Author: James Kern
Millions of people are now using Windows 7, which is testament to its reliability and advanced features... but it still relies on a part of Windows called the 'registry'. This is a very important part of Windows, which stores settings, information and options about your computer. The registry is essentially the central nervous system for Windows, and is crucial to the smooth operation of Windows. Unfortunately, the registry is also so powerful that's your computer's biggest cause of problems. Because the registry contains information like your most visited websites and even your login details, it's actually being used 100's of times a day by Windows, which acts like a double-edged sword. Every time you use Windows Seven, it's actually opening and reading 100's of registry files, which are small text files that contain settings for all your software... and the problem is that since there are so many of these files open at once, your system gets confused and eventually saves many of them in the wrong way. When registry files are saved in the wrong way, it causes your computer to run slower and with a lot more problems than what you would expect. Essentially, your computer is trying to read so many of these files that it ends up saving many of them in the wrong way, mixing up their contents and making them unreadable. This makes your computer take longer to process the files the next time you need them, making your system run slower and with a lot of errors. Registry tools fix this by scanning through the registry and replacing / fixing any of the files that are causing problems. However, because Windows 7 is so new, many registry tools are unable to recognize a lot of the registry problems on your system, and end up just trying to remove a lot more files than there are actual problems for. This is a problem which can be catastrophic for your PC, as removing healthy registry files will make Windows unable to boot up amongst other things. To prevent this, and to make your computer run as quickly and smoothly as possible, you need to use the best registry cleaner tool for Windows 7, and having used a lot of these cleaners on our test PC's, we've found that one called "RegAce" seems to work very well.
