{As you know,You may know that} I am {always,constantly} on the {lookout,watch} for {quality,excellent,good,informative} {content,articles} on Windows Registry Cleaner, {knowing,recognizing} that a registry cleaner is {essential,important,necessary,needed,required} for the {proper,correct} {functioning,operation} of a Windows {operating system,OS}. {Today,Now}, I {came across,discovered,ran across,ran into,come across} a {very,really} {good,informative,excellent} {article,piece of content} that {discusses,talks about,talks over} Registry Cleaners from a {different,new} {light,angle,perspective,point of view}. Make sure you {check out,go over,look into,read} this {article,piece of content} and {let me know,inform me} {what you think,your opinion}. Today’s {article,piece of content} is about Windows Registry and you {can,could} {find,read} the {full,entire} article {published,written,printed,reproduced} below for convenience:
First and foremost you should know that manually editing the registry is not for the average user.
The windows registry Has hundreds of thousands of entries and changing or deleting the wrong one can cause your PC to stop booting forever, Yes I said STOP BOOTING FOREVER. I tell you this so you can understand just how complex and important the registry is. Manually editing your registry is only for advanced users, Very advanced users, I only do it when I absolutly have to and only when I know exactly what I am doing and why.
Now if you are sufficiently scared we can move on.
This brings me to my own rule for working any problem in windows. The rule of three, is my personal rule. It states that anything you want to do in windows you should have three different pieces of software to achieve. I have found that no matter how good the software or how many promises they make you, no one piece of software can do the job completely. To really get things done in windows requires a multi pronged approached. If I want to clean the adware or spyware off of my system I will use three different programs, Adaware, Spybot S&D, and Spyware blaster. Run them one at a time and then follow their instructions.
Windows and the windows registry are extremely complex and large, keeping them running well and free of errors will allow your system to boot faster and run more reliably. Any error in the registry can cause a number of different problems in windows. Some errors in the registry will cause windows to search for a program or driver it cannot find, and if it does not find it where it thinks it should be, then windows will try to find it in other places. When you think about this you realize why this slows down booting. If you have several errors in your registry then booting can take a really long time, and be very frustrating. This is only one kind of error that can occur in the registry, there are several others but we wont go into that.
Now lets get to the How To bit of this article.
First thing to do is to get yourself at least two and if you are following my Rule Of Three, then three different registry software packages. (At the end of this article you will find three I recommend.)
Now install each one, but do not run any of them until you have all of them installed on your system.
Now run the first piece of software, follow the instructions, if it asks you if you want to make a back up say yes. Some software will want to make a snapshot of the registry if yours does, say yes. Most of the software available is designed to make it easy to restore the registry if something goes wrong, so always say yes to backups and snapshot options. When the software has finished making a back up or snapshot of your registry, tell it to scan for errors. This may take a few minutes or only a few seconds, just wait for it to finish. The software will display a list of errors and a count of the errors it has found on your system. It will then present you with at least two choices, Fix/repair or delete. Choose the fix/repair option, this will have the software try to find solutions to the problems, then the software will return with the results of the fix/repair attempt. Some software will automatically delete the entries it cannot fix, some will ask you what to do about the ones it could not fix. If your software asks you what to do about the unfixed errors, choose to not do anything. Close the software.
Now run the second piece of software and follow its instructions again making any back ups or snapshots and then Scan again, again tell it to fix/repair. When it has finished close the software.
Now run the third piece of software and do the same again. If this time there are still unfixed error you can go ahead and tell the software to delete the errors it cant fix. At this point you can be pretty sure that all the errors that could be fixed have been fixed. Now tell the software to rescan your system, the scan should be faster now and should return no more errors. Close the software.
Now as a final check run the first software again and and see if it finds any errors, it should come back with only one or two or none if it finds any just tell it to delete. And You Are Done.
One last thing, some Registry repair software has an option to do deep cleaning or aggressive search, I do not recommend these options as they may damage the registry, and we are trying to repair the registry.
As promised here are links to three pieces of software I recommend, there are literally thousands available.

I have been messing up computers and consumer electronics since I was 9years old, I quickly learned that if I did not want people to know what an idiot I was that I would have to learn to fix things myself.
That is how I got started.
I do not reccomend my path to others.
