 The Registry on a new PC is compact, efficient, containing only the entries required to run your installed applications. And that's great, but this happy state of affairs doesn't last long. As you add and remove other programs, so orphaned entries are left behind, with the result that the Registry just keeps getting larger. Over time it'll consume more RAM, and take a little longer to locate Registry values, slowing your PC down.
Windows doesn't provide any tools to manage this process, either, so if you want to restore your system to full working order then you'll need to reach for Registry Mechanic. Click the Scan button and it'll immediately go to work checking just about every Registry entry, looking for anything that might have been left behind by long-forgotten applications.
Registry Mechanic checks for a wide range of problems, too, from non-existent Startup programs, to "Add/ Remove Programs" entries that no longer point to an uninstall program, missing fonts, invalid file registrations and more. You'll be surprised just how many errors can turn up: we found almost 2,000 on one test system.
Deleting that many Registry entries may well make you nervous, of course, but you do get three layers of protection. First, it's possible to evaluate particular entries to decide whether they should be deleted or not. Second, Registry Mechanic makes backups of everything it deletes, so if you do wipe something important then it's easy to bring it back. And just in case even that isn't enough, Registry Mechanic also creates a System Restore point before carrying out any repair. The end result is you can use the program with confidence, secure in the knowledge that any accidental errors can be quickly undone.
