The Windows Registry is a very important part of your computer system. It is also very complex. The Windows Registry is a database that stores settings and options for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It contains information and settings for hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, and per-user settings. The registry also provides a window into the operation of the kernel, exposing runtime information such as performance counters and currently active hardware.

Over a period of time, the registry gets weighted down with redundant entries, causing it to slow down and begin suffering errors. When you install and un-install programs, the files are altered and removed. This isn't necessarily the case with entries in the registry. When a program is un-installed, it usually leaves registry entries behind. Daily computing activity leaves residual data in the registry that over time presents a computer with conflicting commands. The results from the redundant data are error messages, slow performance, and system crashes. Without repair, the computer continues to degenerate.

For many years only those well experienced with the windows registry possessed the skills necessary to manually clean the registry, but it was still risky and took a large amount of time to complete the task. A mistake in editing the registry can cause irreversible damage to your computer!

Over the last few years, a number of really good (and some not so good) registry cleaner programs have been developed to scan your computer's registry for invalid registry entries. You can usually download these for free. If errors are found and you wish to use the registry cleaner to remove the unwanted software, application, or code, you must purchase a copy of the registry cleaner.
