 Buy a new PC and it'll come with a compact, finely-tuned Registry, containing only the settings required by Windows, and nothing else at all. Excellent. Unfortunately this desirable situation doesn't last very long, because just about every application you install helpfully adds its own collection of Registry keys, and many of these will be left behind even if you remove the program later. Over time, your Registry becomes a complete mess, cluttered with hundreds of broken and redundant entries. And as a result it takes longer to access, requires more system resources, and can cause programs to crash, or at least behave oddly.
There's no real way to avoid this gradual degradation of the Registry, then, but run Registry Mechanic occasionally and you can at least reverse it. Click the Start Scan button and it zooms into action, cross-checking just about every area of your Registry and looking for potential errors.
When the program has finished (and its speedy scanning engine ensures that won't be long) you'll get to see the list of issues with your system, and can choose exactly which ones you'd like to be fixed. Or just allow Registry Mechanic to go ahead and resolve them all. It's most unlikely to delete anything you need, and backups are automatically made of every altered setting so it's easy to restore things. You can even have the program create a System Restore Point before it makes a single change, giving you two layers of protection against accidents. Either way, by the time the process is complete you'll have a compact, efficient and error-free Registry, and a more reliable system, with perhaps a little extra free system memory thrown in for good measure.
