The Registry is a database used to store settings and options for Microsoft Windows including Windows 95, 98, ME, NT/2000, XP, and Vista. Without this information, Windows, your applications, and your computer cannot run. If data in the registry becomes contaminated, your computer might display small malfunctions or applications may fail to work properly. If the registry becomes seriously corrupted, then your computer may not run.

Run RegistryWizard™ every week to keep your Windows Registry free from errors and to keep your computer running smoothly.

Yes. RegistryWizard™ performs an automatic backup of your system registry. After running the scan on your system, click REPAIR. The backup is performed automatically at this point immediately before the repair is executed.

When RegistryWizard™ scans and cleans your registry, it may remove certain broken or non-functional entries. When these are removed from the registry, a copy is made to a backup file. If you believe that one of these removed entries is hurting the operation of an application, you can then restore one or all of the removed entries using the Restore function

The Windows Registry is a database repository for information about a computer's configuration. Every time a new application is installed or a setting is change within Windows, entries are added to the registry. The registry gradually becomes cluttered and fragmented with these entries, which can degrade the performance of the whole system and cause unusual problems. RegistryWizard™ will fix those problems and optimize the performance of your computer.

Run RegistryWizard™, click on the REGISTER NOW box at the top of the program window, and then enter the License Name and License Key that you were given when you joined.

Yes. When you start RegistryWizard™, click on the Settings button. In the Automatic Settings section, you can then set it to Disabled, Scan and Repair, or Monitor. The Scan and Repair setting will set the RegistryWizard™ to automatically run the Scan and Repair function when you start your computer. The Monitor function will load RegistryWizard™ and it will monitor and alert you to any changes in the registry.

During the scanning process RegistryWizard™ will interrogate all File/Path References and often will identify many problems if the registry has not been optimized before. After scanning completes a Scan Results page is presented showing the number of problems found. All problems that are safe to remove are automatically checked, but the File/Path References check box is not enabled. This is to give the user the opportunity to decide whether they wish to have all problems, or just those they choose to be repaired. In rare instances the removal of a reference may cause an issue with an application, this typically only occurs if an application is not used for long periods of time. RegistryWizard™ will identify any File/Path references made by this program in the registry as being obsolete. In any case RegistryWizard™ always saves a snapshot before making any changes, so that restoring data back to the registry is quick and easy. To include all of the File/Path problems found in the Repair process, simply click on the checkbox next to the heading on the Scan Results screen and then click on Repair.

When information is removed from the registry, just like as if it was a file system, some empty space is left between data portions. This empty space leads to poor performance because the system and applications need to browse through wasted space in search for data. That is why the registry not only has to be cleaned, but also compacted. The Organize Registry function compacts the registry and improves system performance by removing the gaps between entries.

Yes, you do. If registry problems are not corrected, your system may soon start experiencing serious problems. After cleaning your registry, you will discover that your system performance will be greatly improved.

Some common reasons that someone would need to use RegistryWizard™ are:

• You are a PC user that installs and uninstalls programs frequently.
• You have drivers on your system that are no longer used.
• You delete programs instead of uninstalling them.
• You may have 3rd party programs that load on each boot.

Whenever you uninstall software, it is highly probable that remnants of the software are still resident on your hard drive. RegistryWizard™ can remove those remnants and allow the system to run more efficiently.

Even with its benefits and free download distribution, RegClean isn't without its disadvantages. RegClean is not compatible with all Microsoft products, third party software programs, spyware components, drivers, preferences, and hardware entries.

RegClean does not have the ability to fix a registry that has been corrupted. It is highly possible that RegClean will not be able to repair a system plagued with a number of registry problems.
