The Registry
is a heart and soul of any Windows system. It contains
information that controls how your Windows appears and
how it behaves. Most applications today use registry to
store configuration and other important data. When you
install an application, a new registry entries will be
created. These entries will automatically be deleted
when you uninstall the application. Unfortunately, it
does not always work that way. Sometimes, you will find
that some applications fail to remove their own registry
entries. These entries will become obsolete.
After a long period, after
installing and uninstalling a lot number of
applications, your Windows registry may contain a large
number of obsolete entries. These will significantly
increase the registry size and thus will slow down your
computer, because Windows will need more time to load,
search, and read data from registry.
To keep your computer in
top performance, it is recommended to periodically clean
your Windows registry. |
