Quick Tour: Step 1 of 3

Registry First Aid is designed like a wizard. It will guide you through the entire process of fixing invalid registry entries.

Screenshot.

The wizard consists of two parts:

·	checking the registry for errors,

·	searching the registry for unwanted entries.

Each part has three steps:

·	Selecting error types (or keywords to search in the registry);

·	Verifying found invalid (or unwanted) entries;

·	Fixing the registry.

Also, there's a configuration page opened by clicking the Advanced settings button on the Starting page. The following options can be configured:

·	exclusion list of registry strings;

·	paths to search for registry corrections;

·	list of paths excluded from searching for corrections;

·	registry keys excluded from the registry scan;

Each step requires the completion of the previous process as listed above. If you want to repeat a step, you can use the Back button. For each step there are information tips that briefly describe what you can do on that particular step. Until you become familiar with Registry First Aid, it is highly recommended that you read the tips.

On the Starting page you can select the action which you want to do: check the registry for errors or search the registry for unwanted entries. Then click on the Next button to move to the next wizard page. Depending on the action that you select, on the next page you can either select errors to scan the registry or enter keywords to search.

Note for machines with multiple Operating Systems (OS) installed.

Press the Start button at the bottom of the wizard to process. You can stop the scanning by pressing the Stop button at any time during the scan.
