These tools will have your computer up and running pretty quickly, but there are so many out there that you may not know which one to download.
Most basic Windows users don't know much about the Windows registry or how to go about fixing it. In this article, I'll discuss some of your options for not only registry cleaning and repair but also registry maintenance and things you can do to keep your computer running at its best.
RegCure:
RegCure is a very easy to use Windows registry repair tool. RegCure is designed for the novice computer user. The download and initial scan are free, and RegCure will repair all your registry problems when you register for the full version. Also, RegCure is the cheapest Windows registry utility out there, so you get the most bang for your buck.
RegistryEasy:
Registry Easy is another popular registry cleaning program, and it works fairly well. It's designed for users who don't have a lot of computer knowledge. All you have to do is download it, click scan, and Registry Easy takes care of everything. However, while the Registry Easy scan is free, you have to buy the registered version to get access to some features and to actually repair your system.
System Mechanic:
System Mechanic is the big boy of registry repair tools, and it will take care of just about anything your system might have going on. System Mechanic is more than just a Windows registry repair tool: it can defrag your memory and hard drive, find ways of making your web browser work better, and do much, much more. System Mechanic's price tag is a bit more than most straight Windows registry tools, but it comes with a 30 day trial version, so you can see exactly how powerful it is before you buy it.
Other tools:
You might also take a look at some firewalls and malware programs to see if they offer registry protection. Spybot, a popular and powerful spyware detection and removal tool, and Comodo firewall both alert you when files attempt to change the Windows registry. This lets you see what's happening to your registry and gives you the chance to block strange changes.
When it comes to selecting registry tools, here are some things to remember:
*Do you need to buy the full version before the program will repair registry errors?
*Is the program going to scan for the many different problems your Windows registry may encounter?
*Is it going to be able to take care of any other registry utilities?
*Does the program create a registry backup?
