When Should I Clean My Windows Vista Registry?

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Microsoft Vista registry needs to be kept in top condition if you want your computer to run at 100% efficiency. Having a dirty and error ridden registry is the equivalent to having a broken and/or outdated computer. Why? Simply because nothing will work or because everything will be really, really slow. Having said that, the best thing that you can do is to get more active when it comes to your PC's registry health. If you don't, well, your computer won't remain reliable for too long.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> When it comes to </span><a class="kLink" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/computers-articles/when-should-i-clean-my-windows-vista-registry-415501.html#" id="KonaLink0" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static; font-family: arial;" target="_new"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;color:#009900;" ><span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 153, 0); color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent;">registry </span><span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 153, 0); color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent;">repair</span></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;">, one of the biggest questions is "how often should I clean my Window's Vista registry?" Generally speaking, at least once per week. However, there really is no "perfect" schedule for registry cleaning.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> How often a person cleans his/her PC registry should be directly proportionate to how often the computer is used. For instance, if you only use the computer once per week, running a registry scan every week wouldn't have much of an impact. But then again, if you were to use the computer every day for a month, and each day the computer was used for 6+ hours, then the frequency of scans would have to be increased to keep up with the accumulating errors.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Truth be told, you don't really need a </span><a class="kLink" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/computers-articles/when-should-i-clean-my-windows-vista-registry-415501.html#" id="KonaLink1" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static; font-family: arial;" target="_new"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;color:#009900;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;">registry </span><span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static;">cleaner</span></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;"> if your are 100% careful with all of your computer activity. Please note that you need to be 100% CAREFUL -- not 80%, not 90%, not even 99%, 100% or nothing. Why 100% careful? Because any and every command you give to the computer is capable of creating a registry error. The more commands given, the more errors there will likely be -- the more errors the registry accumulates, the more often you'll need to run the vista registry cleaner.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> If you only do a very few select things on your computer and NEVER EVER install or uninstall software, games, applications, etc. then you might actually get by without registry repair software. However, the chances of you not making a mistake and causing an error to occur are very remote -- and all it really takes is 1 inconveniently located error to send your system into a downward spiral of sluggishness and random crashing.</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Admittedly, it might not happen all at once -- As a matter of fact, it could take a few weeks to a few months for you to notice the changes.

How to Clean the Registry

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the beginning Windows' registry consisted of two files totaling around 5mb in size. Today it consists of at least 12 files with the Software file itself being 30mb or bigger in size. As the size of the registry has exploded, so has the trash and clutter in it. It may seem like a daunting task, but cleaning the registry properly can fix system problems, speed your computer up, and make it run more efficiently.</span><br /></div><div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><br />I have spent many years developing and refining thousands of procedures to do just that. I could share these methods of hunting down the trash with you and let you find them and delete them by hand, but if you were to sit down at your computer right now and work nonstop, you would still be busy with them a week from now when the next issue of Ray's Computer Tips arrives. By then your registry would have new clutter and you would have to start all over again.<br /><br />To make registry cleaning easier on everyone, I wrote a program called RegVac Registry Cleaner (<span class="hft-urls">http://regvac.com/regvac.htm</span>) to perform those procedures. It has been so successful that several companies have asked me to model their registry cleaners after RegVac and even more have copied processes that first debutted in RegVac.<br /><br />The first place RegVac cleans is the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT section (the Classes Vac in RegVac does this). This section contains settings for the classes of Windows. Think of a huge box full of snakes and you will get an idea of how complicated and interwoven it is. It is so complicated that many registry cleaners bypass it or simply perform surface scans of it. RegVac uses over a hundred processes to follow each tentacle of each class deep into this area and make sure that they abide by the rules.<br /><br />Next RegVac validates the entries in 22 lists with 7 different methods (the FilesList Vac does this). This is a minor part of RegVac but the bulk of most other registry cleaners even though they usually do not clean all 22 lists.<br /><br />Another part of RegVac, the Software Vac, which is unique to RegVac, finds old software sections in the registry and provides a way to remove that software's entire branch. Other registry cleaners only remove a few entries in this area often leaving huge portions of the registry that do nothing but take up space and get in the way.<br /><br />Even more trash can be discovered in hundreds of stashes used to store data you will never use. Most registry cleaners do not even touch these. The Stash Vac lists these stashes and lets you go through and select which ones to empty out. Please use caution when using the Stash Vac because some of the items listed there may be important. For example, one folder in the Stash Vac lists places where data for international keyboards are stored. You probably will never use the data for Bulgarian keyboards, so you can remove it, but if you live in the US you may experience problems after removing the United States 101 keyboard. The items that you can safely remove are usually obvious.<br /><br />Last but not least, when cleaning the registry, you should look for broken links to files on the computer (this is what the Bad Link Vac does). If a file is referenced in the registry but it does not exist on your hard drive, that is a good indicator that something is wrong. Many programmers start out writing a registry cleaner thinking all it has to do is check for these broken links and remove them. In fact, that is all many registry cleaners do.<br /><br />Even though that is all they do, they often don't do it correctly. If you check the results of such scans, you will find out that many of the broken links are really good links. I spent several months refining this part of RegVac so that as far as I know it is 100% accurate. Despite this, please realize that some software enter broken links in the registry and require them to be there in order for them to run. RegVac skips the ones it knows about, but you still need to be careful with this part of RegVac.<br /><br />RegVac has six more tools that clean even more areas: the Add/Remove Editor, the System Config Utility, the OpenWith Editor, the AutoComplete Editor, the Junk Keys Editor, and Registry Backup, Pack, and Restore.<br /><br />Many of you already use RegVac but if you don't, you can downloaded a free 30 day trial of RegVac at <span class="hft-urls">http://regvac.com/regvacz.exe</span>. For more information about RegVac Registry Cleaner go to <span class="hft-urls">http://regvac.com/regvac.htm</span>. If you like RegVac, you can purchase it for only $29.95. All future updates are free.<br /><br />Keep the Windows registry clean and running smoothly with RegVac Registry Cleaner.<br /><br /></div><p style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>About The Author</b></span> </p><div style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Ray Geide writes a free weekly newsletter called Ray's Computer Tips and moderates a discussion board answering computer questions called Computer Q&A.<br /><br />He is an experienced computer programmer who has been writing top-rated software for over a decade.

A Comparison: Using Registry Repair Tools Versus Local Computer Repair Shop to improve PC performance

<p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"> What do you think is a more effective way of repairing your PC system registry files? Taking it into your local computer repair shop or downloading a piece of diagnostics software to get the job done? Quite honestly it's not a cut and dry answer, but this article will explore the differences. More specifically we'll discuss how trial and error effects your bill, why software is consistent, and which choice is best for your PC problems. By the end of this article you should be able to decide if trying PC repair software is a good choice for you next time you run into a hardware of software error.<br /><br /><b>The Trial and Error Process of Technicians</b><br /><br />You probably don't realize it but even those positioned as computer experts rarely know exactly what the problem is without first running some tests. Just like a doctor or auto repair tech there is a trial and error portion to diagnosing and repairing a problem. Most computer repair people have a list of issues in their mind that a problem could be, they start at the top and run down that list until they locate the issue. If they can't find it then it means research time. No one is an expert at everything, and quite often technicians will use scanning software to check your hardware, registry, and files to find a problem.<br /><br /><b>The consistency of Registry Repair tools</b><br /><br />I'm not going to suggest that registry repair software is better then taking your PC to a repair shop. How ever, registry repair tools perform the same scan each time, similar to that list of issues the technician has in his had. The difference is that the software does it in about 10 minutes or less, every time. The software then diagnoses the issues found and offers a remedy all in well under a half hour.<br /><br />The verdict here is that a piece of registry repair software performs a very similar task to your computer repair person. The difference is you're not paying the software by the hour, it's a one time fee to buy the software and that's it. Add in that software generally offers new updates as time goes on and you're actually protecting yourself for a longer period of time all for one price.<br /><br /><b>Which option is best for your PC repair needs?</b><br /><br />I always recommend that you try diagnostic software first.<br /></p><p face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why? </span><br /></p><p face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">Simple the cost is much less then a trip to the repair shop, and most of these software publishers offers a money back guarantee. If you're not happy with how the program performed you just ask for your money back. What's the worst that could happen? You could end up at the repair shop anyways, but best case scenario you locate and fix the problem yourself saving you both time and money.</p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </div><hr style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> <span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>About the Author:</strong><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: left; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">To learn more about how to fix registry errors visit http://www.registryrepaircenter.com a popular website offering <a href="http://www.registryrepaircenter.com/registry-cleaner-reviews.html" target="_blank">registry cleaner reviews</a> of the top products on the market.</span></div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </p>

Vista Registry Cleaners - Do They Actually Work?

<p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="cap">A</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">re you having trouble with your Window's Vista computer? </span><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Heh, who isn't these days? </span><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;font-family:arial;">The truth is that everyone goes through it from time to time -- whether it be slow speed or just random crashes, we all experience a bit of Vista "hysteria" every now & again. The sad fact is that instead of fixing the problem, most people just "live with it". This is really unfortunate because the problem isn't even that big of a problem. In fact, most Vista computer issues can be fixed quite simply through registry repair repair software.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;">However, that leads us to the big question; will a Vista registry cleaner actually work?</p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;font-family:arial;">In short, yes they do in fact work. But then again, that answer only applies to specific kinds of Vista registry cleaners that are proven to work -- it doesn't apply to the poorly designed and problematic registry cleaners that are developed & sold on a regular basis. Having said that, as long as you get your hands on a reliable registry cleaner, you'll be in good shape in terms of registry repair.</p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </div><p face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Why is the registry so important anyway?"</span><br /></p><p face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">Well basically, it's what keeps your computer stable and functioning. Without the registry, your computer would become confused and it wouldn't be able to tell this from that, nor would it even be able to start up properly. In a nutshell, it wouldn't be able to work on any level whatsoever. Now that you know that, you should also know that having lots & lots of registry errors is nearly the equivalent to not having a registry at all. This is due to the fact that the errors cause a great deal of confusion within the PC, which thereby causes decreased speed, sudden crashes, strange error messages, as well as many other performance hindering symptoms.</p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </div><p face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"These errors sound serious. what can I do to prevent them?" </span><br /></p><p face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">Honestly, nothing. Even though registry error prevention is indeed possible, it is by no means easy. Error prevention means being remarkably careful with every action you take and every command you give to the PC. Considering the fact that most people aren't even remotely near that careful, it's just simpler and less time consuming to repair the errors instead -- and the best way to do that is with a registry cleaner.</p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </div><p face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">A Vista registry cleaner is truly the only way to scan and fix your PC's registry properly & without hassle. The software will make sure that any & all registry vulnerabilities are removed completely so that your system will be less prone to damaging attacks -- and yes, the registry does get attacked. The attacks usually come from viruses, spyware, and adware, all of which place malicious keys & entries into your registry. A good registry cleaner not only removes these entries, but it strengthens the registry for the long haul as well. </p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">You should also know that most reliable <span style="font-weight: bold;">vista registry cleaners</span> come fully equipped with a "back-up" feature that is guaranteed to keep your PC in working condition. If anything happens with the registry during a scheduled scan or repair, simply use the "back-up" copy of the registry and you'll be back in business.</p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">As you can see, ignoring effective registry repair is not only stupid, it's downright dangerous.</p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">-<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> </span><a href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/2008/04/computer-informations.html" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">More informations about registry</a></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">- <a href="http://computer-infocentre.blogspot.com/2008/04/computer-tips-and-tricks.html" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">More tips to fixing the registry</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Submitted By: <span class="biggerlink">Jason Z Bell</span></span></p><fieldset style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" ><legend><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>About the Author</b></span></legend><div id="authorbio" class="membersnoticewhite"><span style="font-size:85%;">PC Registry Repair has done the research so you don't have to!

The Different Between One Registry Cleaner Software And Another

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Here’s a fact: 92% of computers run on Windows, and every 32-bit edition of Windows has a storage sector where options and settings are saved. This sector is called the registry, and it is one of the busiest databases in a computer. As such, it is one of the databases that are most susceptible to corruption and breakage. This is why the demand for an efficient registry fix is consistently high. But there are many options on the internet when it comes to a quick registry fix.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><br />Which is the best one? Which registry fix is worth the download? Which registry fix will provide the best results? In this article, we will review five of the most popular registry cleaners available on the World Wide Web today. It is hoped that you, the reader, will be guided properly on how to choose the best registry fix for your needs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stompsoft Registry Repair </span><br />Stomp is known as the most thorough and most aggressive registry fix in the market today. Where other registry fixers can only diagnose 50 to 70 registry-related errors, Stomp can pinpoint more than 700.<br />Is this a good thing or a bad thing?<br />Some say that Stomp merely counts errors in the registry that Windows will auto-correct eventually. Some say that Stomp merely looks for errors in places where files don’t really have a bearing on the processes conducted by the system. Regardless, Stomp’s aggressiveness wouldn’t hurt, and at the end of the day, it’s still about how well the registry is fixed, and on this, Stomp has a pretty good record.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CCleaner </span><br />Being a free registry cleaner, CCleaner has built a huge and solid following, with most of its patrons claiming that they have been using this registry fix as soon as it was released almost 5 years ago, and they have never looked for any other reg cleaner since then.<br /><br />For a free registry fix, CCleaner’s features are simply amazing. CCleaner does things right. It erases the useless and redundant files in the registry, and it never meddles with files that may affect the performance of Windows.<br />And it is constantly updated! This is something that free registry fixes can seldom afford.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Registry Mechanic </span><br />Registry Mechanic is likewise a stable registry fix. With the newest update, Version 6.0, Registry Mechanic is now capable of recognizing previously unrecognizable errors, and correcting the same, resulting in a cleaner, better performance for your Windows-based PC.<br /><br />Many online authorities attest to the integrity of Registry Mechanic, mainly because of the aforementioned stability and consistency of this registry fix. This has created a wave of acclaim for the program, which has been translated to many downloads for the same.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Registry First Aid </span><br />Speaking of acclaims, if the number of awards is to be used as gauge, then Registry First Aid should top this list. Registry First Aid is a registry fix that boasts of a seamless cleaning process for your Windows operating system. It promises a stable program that will provide the registry fix you need fast and easy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Registry Medic </span><br />Registry Medic’s claim to fame, on the other hand, lies in three things: its amazing user-friendly interface, its powerful scan engine, and its ability to remove and immunize your system from spyware and malware infestation.<br /><br />Registry medic is indeed more than just a mere registry fix. It aims to be a spyware cure and prevention solution as well, making it one of the top downloads of people who wish to speed up and protect the integrity of their PCs.<br /><br /> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" ><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>About The Author</b></span> </p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><span style=";font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mehmet Onatli</span> has over 10 years experience in repairing computer.

3 Tips To Choosing The Perfect PC Registry Cleaner

<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">By: Chelsey Fox</span><br /><br />Why should you put up with a slow and sluggish PC when you have help at hand? The number one reason behind a slow computer is a corrupt windows registry. If you run a windows registry scan on your system, you will notice that your registry probably contains several hundreds of invalid entries, missing DLL files, untraceable shortcuts, etc. If you simply remove these invalid and missing entries, your computer will start behaving like a brand new machine! The best way to clean your windows registry is by using a professional windows registry repair utility. In this article I will tell you why.<br /><br />You can try to fix your windows registry by hand, but unless you are a computer genius, you shouldn't even touch your registry because a single mistake can land you in big trouble. If you delete a valid registry entry by mistake, your entire computer might stop working altogether! This is where a windows registry repair utility scores! Let me give you some tips on how to choose a professional windows registry repair utility:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. A compatible registry cleaner is a must<br /><br /></span>It is no use buying a top-notch registry cleaner software unless it is compatible with your system. There are some pc registry cleaners which are compatible only with Windows XP; others are compatible both with Windows 2000 and XP. Before buying any windows registry repair utility, check the system requirements needed by the program. An incompatible registry cleaner will harm your system rather than doing any good.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. How easy it is<br /><br /></span>You need to buy a windows registry fixer which is easy to use. Usually, a professional registry repair tool should be fully automated and you don't need to configure anything manually. You simply need to install the software, push the 'Scan' button and the software should list all the invalid entries that need to be cleaned from your registry. When you click another button the entries are removed! You shouldn't purchase a software that is too complicated to use, because chances are that you won't be able to use it.<br /><br />A professional registry repair tool should also have the option to schedule scans. This way, you don't need to launch the software program manually every time you want to clean your registry. The software would simply launch on its own and run the scan in the background, without bothering you in the least. Never buy a pc registry cleaner that doesn't offer the automatic scheduling option.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Backing up registry<br /><br /></span>Even with the best registry cleaners, problems can happen. What would you do if something goes wrong with your system after you have cleaned the registry? If you have backed up your registry, you should be able to restore your previous settings with no problems. Most professional pc registry cleaners offer you the option of 'automated registry backup' before removing the invalid registry entries. Don't buy a pc registry cleaner that doesn't offer this vital option!<!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">I have tried a lot of windows registry repair softwares in the past and finally settled on Registry Fix 5.5. This is a very popular software and keeps my computer clean and efficient.

Use A Registry Cleaner To Speed Up A Slow PC

<div face="arial" style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">Computer Info Centre's tips to resolve the computer's speed problems by using a registry cleaner software.<br /><br />The gradual slowdown in performance speed is a common problem that Windows based computers tend to have. The main culprit in this "aging" is the clutter that tends to build up over time as Windows is used dynamically (programs added and removed, settings changed, etc.)<br /><br />It's puzzling since Windows is supposed to be used "dynamically," and yet this is what seems to cause the most problems. One big area that the buildup of temporary and obsolete files and folders is the Windows registry. This can cause Windows to bog down as it tries to make sense of these entries.<br /><br /><strong><u>What Is The Registry?</u></strong><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong> The Windows registry is a filing system where Windows stores all the preference and settings files for software and hardware drivers. Every time you install a new program, new registry entries are created.<br /><br />Technically when you uninstall a program or driver all the registry entries should be removed, but this isn't always the case. Usually there are quite a few files and folders left behind in an orphaned state. This is the main cause of registry clutter. Another cause is the buildup of temporary files that aren't removed.<br /><br /><strong><u>How To Clean Up The Registry?</u></strong><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong> Fortunately it's very easy to clean up the registry on your PC. All you need to do is get your hands on a good, high-quality registry-repair software program. These programs will scan your computer and in seconds report all the obsolete, broken, and excess files. You can then delete them all with the click of a button.<br /><br />Cleaning up the registry will get rid of all the junk that clogs up your machine and causes Windows to get bogged down while trying to make sense of all those invalid entries.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">By: Cynthia Blake</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Article Source: http://www.articlesnatch.com<br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">About the Author: Visit our site for information on the top registry cleaners available.<br />For more information on cleaning the registry, check out our article How To Conduct A Registry Clean Up</span></div></div>

The registry is actually a big file where a lot of setting can be stored. </span><span style="font-size:100%;">This file has been around quite a while and has had different names.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The first windows version that used the windows registry to store settings was windows 3.11 and the registry in that version of windows was called Reg.dat.<br />In Windows 95 & 98 the registry files are named User.dat and System.dat and are stored in the \Windows\ directory. Windows ME called the registry files, Classes.dat, User.dat, and System.dat and stored them in the \Windows\ directory. Finally the newest versions of windows like, Windows NT, 2000, 2003, & XP stores the registry files like this,</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >The Registry files are stored in %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\:</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >? Sam - ? Security - ? Software - ? System - ? Default - ? Userdiff - ? NTUSER.dat - ? The NTUSER.dat file is stored in the profile folder.</span><br /><br />The Windows Registry was introduced to tidy up the old way of storing text entries in INI files. These entries had previously been used to store configuration settings for Windows programs.<br />The ini files where stored in a lot of different directories and many programs used their own ini file for some or all of their settings. This way of using ini files all over the system, made them difficult to keep track of and handle in an easy and logical way.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> What's Good with the Registry? </span><br />Changing from having one or more INI Files per program to one centralised registry has some obvious and some not so obvious benefits:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">* The registry keeps machine configuration separate from user configuration. When a user logs into a Windows NT/XP/2003 computer, their registry settings are merged with the system wide settings. This allows programs to more easily keep per-user configuration, as they can just work with the 'current user' key, whereas in the past they tended to just keep system-wide per-program settings. There are always some system wide settings that are common for all users though.<br />* Group Policy allows administrators on a Windows-based computer network to centrally manage program and policy settings. This is not used in a home environment, only in corporations with a dedicated logon </span><span class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid blue; font-weight: 400; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; color: rgb(176, 0, 0);">server</span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;">.<br />* Because the registry is accessed through a special API it is available to scripts and </span><span class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;">remote </span><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;">management</span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> using WMI.

The Registry introduces some problems as well:<br />* It is a single point of failure - damage to the Registry can render a Windows system unbootable, in extreme cases to a point that can not be fixed, and requires a full reinstall of Windows. This is why it is so important to use </span><span class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;">registry </span><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; position: static;">scan</span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> and repair utilities, while the registry still can be repaired.<br />* Any program which wants to manipulate the registry must use special Windows API functions whereas a configuration file can be manipulated using normal text file-processing techniques.<br />* Configuration files can contain comments to help the user by explaining what values are for and how they can be changed, the registry cannot. And the registry use something called guids in a large scale. Long strange unique numbers that is completely meaningless to humans. Making handling much harder.<br />* It is more difficult to backup - it cannot be done 'live' because it is always in use, and thus requires special software such as ntbackup.<br />* Restoring parts of the registry is hard because you cannot easily extract data from backed up registry files<br />* Any application that doesn't uninstall properly, or doesn't have an uninstaller, can leave entries in the registry, which can lead over time to increased file size and decreased performance.

Why Is My Computer Slow?

<span style="font-size:85%;"><strong><em>Submitted By: </em></strong><a class="biggerlink" href="http://www.isnare.com/?s=author&a=Logan+Albright"><strong><em>Logan Albright</em></strong></a></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">Technology and slow are complete opposites with each other. With the rapid advancement of technology, we have become more and more reliant on computers to have information on the go. However, despite how hard we want it to be our way, sometimes our computers fail us and they do not perform at their peak performance when we them to. The question then pops to mind, “why is my computer slow?”<br />There are several reasons to explain why your computer is not performing at its maximum potential.<br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;" class="widget-content"> <div class="widget-content"> <strong>Virus or Spyware</strong><br /><br />One of the main causes for ‘slow-down’ performance of computers is due to the introduction of viruses or spyware into the system. Viruses and spywares not only slow down your computer’s performance but it can erase precious data too. Also, viruses can leave behind false registry keys that will slow down your computer as your computer has to go over these false registry keys to get to the right one.<br /></div> <span class="widget-item-control"> <span class="item-control blog-admin"> <a class="quickedit" href="http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=7291437990568860363&widgetType=Text&widgetId=Text6&action=editWidget" onclick="'return" target="configText6" title="Edit"> </a></span></span><strong><br /><br />Corrupted Registry</strong><br /><br />The registry part of our computers is not something that we often look into however it does play an important role that may be the reason for your computer slowing down. It contains many files that are called registry keys that determine how your computer will function and run. Unfortunately, these registry keys can be ruin overtime as the computer is constantly used for different functions. Through this process, new entries are made and old entries are deleted, resulting in false entries. As such, the computer slows down as it has to go over these false entries before processing the right one. Moreover, after a long period of use, computers can loss files pertaining to the registry or the files may have turned corrupted.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;" class="widget Text" id="Text7"> <span class="widget-item-control"> <span class="item-control blog-admin"><br /><br /></span> </span> </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"> <strong>Multiple programs</strong><br /><br />Just like how we wish to complete our tasks in the shortest possible time, we do that through trying to complete our tasks all at the same time! When we are at work, we open numerous windows, Microsoft Word, Excel documents, websites for research, all these while chatting with our friends on the web messenger! How can we then expect our computer to be at its fullest potential? Just imagine, someone were to ask you to wash the clothes while changing the diapers and at the same time cook dinner for the family. It is impossible! You may argue that we are human and are restricted to our boundaries and while computers don’t cry for mummy, they just overload.<br />Machine and men may be different, but both have their limits and capacities. We have to learn how to take care of our computers just as how we take care of ourselves. While, you need not pamper your computer with praises or compliments, what I meant was to keep it at its best. Clear the bad “stuff” inside it and do regular virus checks and keep it well maintained. Only then, will you be able to enjoy the advantages and benefits of having a computer that can function at its best all the time.<br /></div><h6 style="font-family: arial;"><em>About the Author:</em><br /><em>Logan Albright is an authority on troubleshooting computer problems at </em><a href="http://www.pcaholic.com/"><em>http://www.pcaholic.com </em></a><em>.

How To Speed Up Your Computer Instantly

<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>Submitted By: </em></span><a class="biggerlink" href="http://www.isnare.com/?s=author&a=Logan+Albright"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>Logan Albright</em></span></a><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">In this modern day and age, we seek for instant gratification in almost every area of our lives. We want things to be done in the fastest way possible and would never back down from striving to find instant cures for everything. Just like how we wish that information can be attained at the snap of our fingers, we also wish that we can solve our problems in an instant. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />In this article, we will look into ways whereby you can speed up your computer instantly. In reality, it is impossible to do such a thing as the next best thing one can do in trying to speed up their computer is to do it in a few minutes time. There are several methods that you can use to speed up your computer: </span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><div align="justify"><br /><strong>1. Clean your hard drive</strong> </div><div align="justify"><br />A possibility to why your computer is functioning so slowly is because there are many unnecessary files that are useless in your hard drive causing it to slow down the performance of your computer. Start cleaning up your hard drive today by doing a search for disk cleanup on your computer and following the prompts. </div><div align="justify"><br /><strong>2. Clean your registry</strong> </div><div align="justify"><br />All of our computers have something called the registry where information related to the login information for users and applications are kept. However, as time passes, the registry can get corrupted and become rife with errors. Files may also go missing and false entries made into the registry. As such, you should always equip your computer with a registry cleaner to clear out all the false and error files that are hindering and slowing down your computer’s performance. It made cost you a little, but it is worth the buy. </div><div align="justify"><br /><strong>3. Upgrade your RAM</strong> </div><div align="justify"><br />You yourself would know how good your own computer is and you may consider upgrading its RAM if you need to. RAM is needed by the computer as it is what that determines its speed. Available memory in your computer boosts its speed and since upgrading your memory is much more affordable these days, you may want to give it a shot. However, do check first before you purchase a new RAM if not you would only spend money getting a new RAM only to find that it was not the cause of the poor performance of your computer. </div><div align="justify"><br />There is no way we can instantly fix our computers or increase its speed in the snap of a finger. Even the best mechanic would not be able to do that. Even in this time and age we should learn how to take things slow and take a step back to understand the situation before making the diagnosis. This way, we not only save more money but more time from trying to fix what is not broken. Probably the only way to fix a computer instantly is to buy a new one, if you are willing to part with the money that is or else, you better learn how to keep your computer in tip top condition so you would not have to spend so much money.</span></div><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">About the Author:Logan Albright is an authority on troubleshooting computer problems at </span></em><a href="http://www.pcaholic.com/"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.pcaholic.com </span></em></a><em><span style="font-size:85%;">.

Registry clean up programs - How do they work and do you need one?

<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">by </span><strong style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.easyarticles.com/author-475.htm">ihenman</a></strong></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">The windows registry system is the central nervous system of your PC. It stores information about software programs, file locations, short cuts, and file paths. As we install software the registry gets updated, and when software is removed it gets updated, if the uninstall process goes correctly. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Some software can leave behind broken file paths, empty registry keys, and non existent short cuts after their deleted. Why does this happen? Because the uninstall process for the program didn't do it's job correctly. So what can you do about it? Registry clean up programs are designed specifically to scan your windows registry files looking for such empty items and errors.</span><br /><br /><b style="font-family: arial;">How do Registry Repair Tools work?</b><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The process is simple, a registry clean up program scans your entire registry and provides you with a list of items it believes are errors or out of date information. You then have the alternative to automatically repair all of the items found, or you can manually review each one prior to correcting it. For most beginners it's easier to automatically remove and repair all items. How ever what do you do if a wrong items gets deleted?</span><br /><br /><b style="font-family: arial;">What happens if you make a mistake?</b><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Beside scanning your windows registry files most registry cleaners also provide a backup feature. This backup makes copies of your current registry files and settings prior to repairing them. Why is this important? Because if you choose the auto repair method you could accidentally delete or repair something that wasn't actually an error. How ever because you have a backup copy of the old settings and files you can undo and revert back to the way things were before the repair.</span><br /><br /><b style="font-family: arial;">How often should I scan my registry?</b><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Most registry clean up tools have a schedule setting. You can set the software to regularly scan your system registry and auto fix any items it finds. Along with this you can also tell the program to make a new backup each time. This way you're always keeping items from building up, and ensuring you have a fresh backup point to start over from if need be. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It depends on your computer usage how often you should scan your registry. Average computer users should consider scanning once every 4-6 months, how ever computers that are used more often, and especially those that are installing and removing a lot of programs should scan more often.<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong style="font-style: italic;">About the Author:</strong><span style="font-style: italic;"> To learn more about </span><a href="http://www.registryrepaircenter.com/" style="font-style: italic;">registry repair software</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> visit http://www.registryrepaircenter.com a popular website that reviews </span><a href="http://www.registryrepaircenter.com/" style="font-style: italic;">registry cleaner software</a><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span></span><br /></div></div>

How Safe Is Your Computer ?

<span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">by: Arvind Singh<br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Your computer can be open to attack from different types of spyware. Spyware constitutes those programs that are deliberately lodged in your computer without your approval or knowledge. The only way to escape spyware or at least minimize its effects is to install antispyware software on your pc.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">If you surf the web, you can be sure that you face the ongoing risk of spyware or adware. It is time you updated your antispyware programs to keep your PC healthy. But first let us briefly examine the most common types of spyware.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Gone are the days when viruses were expected only via our email. Now we don't even have to click a link to be infected. All we have to do is browse the Internet, and it's an open invitation to spyware. Spyware constitutes those programs that are deliberately lodged in your computer without your approval or knowledge. You can never live without spyware and adware protection.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Types Of Spyware</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Adware is the worst form of spyware. These programs lay in wait for you to connect to the Internet and then they send you popups that give you all kinds of offers. And while you are thinking how considerate those websites are, these fake popups are actually recording your viewing habits and smuggling them off to marketing companies who sell you junk.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Another irritating form of spyware is the browser hijacker. After installing themselves on your PC, they just change your default homepage and search engine. When you start your web browser, you'll find that you are flooded with ads, porn and other stuff you don't want. The scary part of this is that they mine data - which means they report your surfing habits to someone who uses the information unethically.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Keyboard loggers are thieves who steal your PIN number when you bank online. They get your passwords. This means, without spyware protection, your personal information and assets can be stolen. Then there are Diallers that enter your PC through a virus infection, adult websites, warez, or even MP3s. A dialler is software that dials numbers at premium rates when you are not around and you end up with bills for thousands of dollars.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">If you use file-sharing programs, while installing it, spyware also gets installed, unless you read your end user agreements carefully or have antispyware software installed to keep these Trojans away. Imagine having every keystroke recorded, and your private instant messages, emails and other conversations being logged and reported elsewhere without you knowing about it! No - not the best situation to be in! So, never be without spyware protection.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Is There Freedom From Spyware?</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">The only way to escape spyware or at least minimize its effects is to install antispyware software on your pc. Some programs just remove the spyware but cannot prevent new spyware from coming into your pc. Get firewall software, if you use broadband or high-speed connections. Avoid clicking on links that promise you free movies, prizes, free software etc. Update your antispyware program and scan your PC regularly.</span></span></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">About The Author</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">Arvind Singh is admin and technical expert associated with development of computer security and performance enhancing software like Registry Cleaner, Window Cleaner, Anti Spam Filter etc.<br />More information can be found at<br />http://www.pcmantra.com</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">To know about the Registry Cleaner visit at:<br />http://www.pcmantra.com/registry-cleaner.htm</span></span></span></span></div>
