Is A Registry Cleaner Microsoft Friendly?
If you own a desktop or a laptop that is running Microsoft Windows than you will need a registry cleaner to keep your computers running efficiently. A registry is a constantly growing database that stores the settings for the operating system and installed programs. When you turn on any computer running Windows, the operating systems and any programs that are open write entries to the registry.
As you can see the registry will grow very quickly over a short period time. Old entries, broken shortcuts and removed programs leave junk behind in the registry. If this is not cleaned out periodically, a computer will slow down and eventually become relatively useless.
Whatever you do before you change any of your settings or any programs, you should back up your registry and create a recovery disk. This is something that you should do before you make any big changes to your computer. If you do not and something goes wrong, it could end up being a costly mistake.
When you are ready to embark on registry cleaner adventure, start by closing any and all open programs and applications. Even those programs that live in your system tray needs to be closed. Anything that is open or running in the background is still writing to your registry and will cause the cleaner to not run properly or efficiently.
After following these steps, you will be ready to start the registry cleaner. Start the program and get up, go to kitchen and make a sandwich. Seriously, whatever you do you do not want to accidently start any programs by moving a mouse around. There is not much point in closing all the programs to only end up opening one during the cleaner.
After the program is completed, you will more than likely be looking at an extensive list of entries that need to be repaired or deleted. Your first instinct will probably be to correct everything on the list. However, the last thing you should do is check off the box to automatically fix all entries. You are looking for the option to repair only things that are safest to the computer. If you want to work on the other entries, try entering the errors in a search engine to see if you can understand what the error means and then decide if the entry is worth fixing.
If you are running any version of Microsoft’s Windows, then you will need to run a registry cleaner sooner or later. If you take your computer to a service center, this one of the utilities that they will use to clean up your computer. You can do this yourself, do not be afraid; just tread carefully.
