Cleaning the registry

After reading some of the posts, looking at the forums and have my own problems, I just understand, respect what the majority of the 'technicians' and the 'experts' have posted on registry cleaning.

I, like most novice computer draws, was informed by 'other' IE; Television commercials, Cnet, Consumer Digest, and many others to "speed up" your computer, cleaning the registry was the way to go. Not one of these 'others' say what damage could be done in the registry.  I used Registry Mechanic and PC Tools Performance Tool Kit.  Until the moment that I uninstalled them, I had not had problems. And I had these programs for several years.  I Advanced SystemCare v6 but left the "registry fix" and "registry defrag" uncontrolled boxes.

I have studied this issue for some time.  Thank you MS Community of the "education"!

I used to use Registry Mechanic too and never had any problems using it.
I browse the results however and does not remove the entries that I knew nothing about
(which means that I would have left more tickets that now), but the fact is that, apart from
a possibility of the "cleaner" can be wrong and remove something crucial (if not at perhaps Windows)
software you use) registry cleaners "" really don't accelerate a modern machine running Windows 7.

Registry cleaning for the most part, is better left in the dim, dark and distant past of slow core processors
and limited system memory and HARD disk space.
I had to use a registry cleaner today if to help me find an entry for a software that
caused me problems I could be sure that the software has been removed as completely as possible, but
which can be done manually in any case. Even then I have "exported" any input before deleting.

    Do not do this.  There is no need to do it and make a mistake if you change the Windows registry may be unrecoverable without a clean reinstall.

    I didn't write what follows, but it's a good tip:

    If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, cured, twisted, fixed or optimized (it isn't), readhttp://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

  • Although there are many commercial software programs that claim to clean up registry problems, it is often uncertain of the truth. Windows itself has all these programs?

    Laptop Toshiba using Windows 8.

    Hello

    First of all, a great thing about registry cleaning is it isn't and shouldn't be a computer maintenance task. Clear the cache and cookies of your browser every week? Great, nothing wrong here. Your favorite registry database run cleaner each week? NOT BIG.

    If we're here to be honest and direct, cleaning the registry is a completely pointless thing to do. So far, what I've said makes it sound like I despise the registry cleaners. I do? No, I do not despise them, but as I said, they are not necessary and if used carelessly can make your operating system a Clipboard.

    Then why would you even use a registry cleaner in the first place? Well, they're doing something right or they would not even be allowed to (if paid) sales or if they were free (CCleaner for example) there will be a huge game, more than what it already is in IT, regarding the opinions based on registry cleaners.

    Cleaning software to register is useful mainly for one thing and it may very well be made according to the algorithm uses the cleaner software itself, and which is to remove remnants of uninstalled old software or entries including path names now not valid. Sometimes it can be possibly useful for removing traces of malware that may have been stored in the registry that was not properly deleted after you run an analysis antivirus, etc..

    Other that that, it won't do anything. It will not increase the performance of your system by any means whatsoever. Nothing notable. A "register of small" in theory would one assume that the things load faster, etc, but in reality, there no performance difference either.

    For reference, take a look at this:

    Mark Russinovich (author of the co-founder of 'Bible', Windows Internals, Winternals and Sysinternals, and that both companies were bought by Microsoft, now a senior employee of Microsoft) asked:

    Hi Mark, do you really think that registry junk left by uninstalled programs could severely slow down the computer? I would like to 'hear' your opinion.

    His answer:
    No, even if the registry was massively bloated there will be little impact on the performance of something else comprehensive research.

    On Win2K Terminal Server systems, however, there is a limit on the total amount of registry data that can be loaded and so large profile hives can limit the number of users that can be simultaneously connected.

    I did not and never will implement a registry cleaner since it's of little practical use on anything other than Win2K terminal servers and developing one that is safe and effective requires a huge amount of application-specific knowledge.

    So, to summarize all this:

    Q: Using a registry cleaner will increase the speed and/or the performance of my system?

    A: N °

    ----

    Q: Why I even use a registry cleaner then?

    A: Personally, I wouldn't use an any and would find the problem you are expressly have and handle manually. It is much safer. However, the main use of registry cleaners is to delete again as mentioned above, software remains of old uninstalled or entries including path names now invalid. Sometimes it can be possibly useful for removing traces of malware that may have been stored in the registry that was not properly deleted after you run an analysis antivirus, etc..

    ----

    Q: What is the real danger to use a registry cleaner?

    A: You must remember that you use is an automated tool that is not perfect by any means. You put your trust in an automated tool to be absolutely sure that it is about to remove all keys is 100% useless. At certain times and I saw him personally myself a LOT, it can remove a very important key, which is necessary for the functionality of your operating system in one form or another.

    ----

    Q: What happens if my registry is corrupt, running a registry cleaner will help?

    A: Absolutely not.

  • Repair of the registry and Tune Up

    Microsoft has a tool that will clean the registry on XP and repair broken chains?

    I don't want to use one of these tools, you see all the time. Many prefer to use tools and solutions Ms.

    Used to have a MS tool, but I don't think it's around more.

    Some people like Advanced System Care (free version) and I just used it on a system to clean a bunch of rest unwanted registry (invalid registry entries of 1387) who leaves behind the uninstall of Microsoft Visual Studio (and many other things).  You would think that MS know how to remove their own stuff without leaving a bunch of leftovers in the registry, but my expectations exceed reality.

    If you choose to use NCP, just be sure to do not allow installation adding 'extra' things like toolbars Ask tools or someone of you change other settings, search engine or of installation preferences, or else you will then find how to cancel these adjustments.

    Skip all other ideas useful suggestions - just install it plain as Jane and then I would like to uninstall when finished since it will add some additional monitoring startup items to your system that you do not really.  When you're finished with it, just get rid of it.

    If you use another popular tool like CCleaner, it may find more or less (probably) to ASC, but use common sense to be sure you can recover if you have one of the horror stories that you read (which I have never seen).  I think that NCP see more loose of things well.  CCleaner has other things nice in there too.

    She is executed, see what he has to say and you can view the results and decide what you want to do before committing to change anything.

    I would like to make a manual system restore point before installing and back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    It also has a registry optimizer for after cleaning.

    I don't think that you will really notice an improvement in performance, unless you take measures carefully with a benchmarking software.  I cut 1.87 seconds of boot time of this system using ASC and C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, then I uninstalled them before returning to the system owner.

    Notice only a "good feeling" when you're done and you see all the unwanted and get rid of it, but beings humans tend to appreciate good feelings.

  • What is the best way to correct the registry errors without the use of a registry cleaner in XP?

    I am sorry to raise this issue that so many people who have asked me.  I read pages and pages of discussions on the MS forum on this subject, and without exception, all the experts said Microsoft registry cleaners are completely unnecessary and that junk in the registers has no performance impact at all.  Instead, they say, to do x, y and z.  I am running Windows XP on my desk for five years, and gradually, he got so slow it's almost unbearable.  It takes 10-15 minutes just to start, and sometimes it takes 2 minutes or more just to open a window of browser (IE8) or go to the previous page by using the arrow to the left.  Before you tell me all the things it could be, please let me say that:

    1. my PC has not always been this slow!  It is getting worse.

    2. all my Windows software is up to date.  I have automatic updates on.

    3. I have a lot of disk space, almost 75% of free space on a hard drive of 80 GB.

    4. my PC is free of viruses, spyware and Trojans.  I have McAfee antivirus running and I also sometimes run Malwarebytes and Trojan Killer, because they always find things that don't have McAfee.

    5. I defragment my hard drive on a regular basis.

    6. I regularly delete all my temporary files by using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.

    7. I have very little, if any "Add-ons".  No toolbar Yahoo or Google (or Bing!).

    8. I removed nearly every program that I start, so that they are not running in the background.

    9. I uninstalled all the programs that I don't use.

    However, I still have a slow ever-more computer.  Sometimes, when I see ads on TV to increase the speed of my PC, I download the 'free' software, and they claim to find hundreds or thousands of "registry errors.  When I look at the newspapers, I see many entries in registry for 'Netscape' and 'Google Earth', which I uninstalled years ago, as well as entries for the videos that I downloaded, seen once, and deleted a long time ago.

    So, what's the problem?  If it's not related to my registry (which Trojan Killer says has more 6 000 entries!), what else could be?  I would appreciate greatly any advice you can give, because there are dozens of companies on their touting their registry cleaners and the uninstall (for a price) programs, and after reading reviews of the MS MVPs, I'm skeptical of their claims.  Thank you.  :)

    I can't disagree with a lot of things have already been said.

    I'm willing to accept that your machine does actually takes 10 to 15 minutes on the clock. It's completely absurd.

    Some people call your "Windows Rot" problem. Becomes just the slower windows over time. It is a collection of things that are happening in the background. Yes I believe that the register contributes. Using a registry cleaner is not a "magic" solution But it can help a little.

    The PC care program/process you described is above average.  I suggest you add CCleaner. Disk Cleanup is not bad, CCleaner is better, cleaning of other stuff which does not resemble the DC. It won't be a significant difference because disk space is not your problem, but it will help a little.

    'Play' with the registry is VERY risky. If you decide to go ahead, I would say that first make you a copy of the full image backup using a utility that can be started and run from a CD/DVD. Just in case the registry cleaner breaks of your machine.

    Registry cleaners is that they take a "best estimate" to what is no longer necessary. Sometimes they think wrong. And each vacuum cleaner will clean slightly different sets of places.  If the tool does not provide a way to back up the registry before you start cleaning, do not use it. He is not careful enough.

    If vacuuming offer 'levels' of cleaning, enjoy. Open for more aggressive cleaning, with resetting and long series of normal use between cleanings.

    You are looking for a tool which also makes registry "defragmentation". The registry is a database that get disorganized by additions and deletions. Defragmentation will be re - organize and get rid of a 'lost' space, making it the smallest file, afterwards faster to read.  It is not something you need to do frequently, but since you've never done it in 5 years, it would help, after cleaning registry.

    Another place to find CPU and RAM wasted resources is Windows Services. These are small programs that start at boot time. They run in the background and provide support services to all applications or specific applications.  Many applications services are running even though you don't really need them. You can find information on which you can set by Googling for 'Windows XP hardening'. There are a lot of sites with good information. They call it hardening because by disabling unnecessary stuff, you leave less possible openings for the "bad guys" to the attack.

    Ultimately, I think your best bet will simply bite the bullet and re - install windows and all your applications. It's the best way to restore your computer to almost any performance fees factory. (It is not exactly factory fresh because you need to add a ton of Windows updates).

    Before you re-install, do copy image 1 or more full backups. At least one must be done using a tool that will easily allow you to extract the files. You data backup files separately to make it easier to restore the reinstallation. IE, copy it to a USB key.

    Many "experts" actually expect to, and do, re - install windows every 6-12 months!  I think it's a bit exaggerated, but they swear by it.

    Once you do your re - install, create a copy of the magnified image
    Install a firewall application (before the windows updates)
    Once you do all updates of windows, create a copy of the magnified image
    After that you re-install all your apps, create another copy of the complete picture.

    In this way, in the future, you have more current points to restore your computer to. It will reduce the time you spend to get back to the current configuration.

    On a 5 year old XP machine, you have probably 512 MB - 1 GB of RAM. You might also consider taking in the shop (or DIY) and bump the RAM up to at least 2 GB or better still max out.  The current versions of the applications use much more memory than they did 5 years ago. Even XP will be since he has been seriously corrected since then.

    No program is good to do things like that. Avoid all the
    like the plague!

    Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
    registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
    do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
    What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
    have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

  • Manager of the registry editor and the task does not not XP clean install

    Hi all

    I use Windows Xp professional. As soon as I installed Windows I wanted to see 'Task Manager' and 'the registry editor. But I'm not able to open these two applications.

    Whenever I try to run regedit or taskmgr I get this message "task manager / the registry editor" has been blocked by your system administrator.

    I tried a few methods such as downloading a file .vbs script that opens the registry editor and also tried to activate it in the gpedit.msc but I'm still not able to do it properly.

    Can someone help me on this please?

    Enable the Task Manager in Windows XP

    1. start Windows to your habit.

    2. click on 'start '. Then highlight and click on 'run '.

    3. Type "REGEDIT" in the text bar and press "enter."

    4 4 naviguer navigate in the registry, locate the following directory: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Software-Microsoft-Windows------CurrentVersion------Policies\ system.»

    5.right click "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", then click on 'New' from the context menu to include a new string. This is necessary only when the necessary directory is not present in the registry. By default, Windows XP Home Edition does not include the necessary directories chain.

    6. click on the part of the sentence "DisableTaskMgr" and delete it. It's the easiest way to do it, but it makes it harder to fix in the future. You will need to manually reenter the chain if you don't back up first.

    7 change the numbers in the Boolean section of the entry from one to zero. This will allow the Task Manager in Windows XP. Note that zero is essentially equivalent to a positive input in this regard, that the original string is a negative.

    8 change the string manually in the window "Run" from the Start Menu, without having to access the registry editor. Just type "REG add HKCU/v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0/f" in the text field and press "Enter"...

    Please do the above methods and even if it does not work with these processes then mail me... my mail is * address email is removed from the privacy *. am vijay... waitin 4 your rly... try it & IT... It is easy...

  • clean and stimulate the registry

    How can I do this with a tool of program at Microsoft?

    Microsoft does not provide a tool because it is unnecessary. Playing with the registry is more likely to cause problems than to cure them.

    If you really want something, the Windows Live Safety Scanner is probably safe.  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
