But did you know that while the Windows OS is running, the registry is accessed every second? Reading existing keys and writing new ones is performed. This is a vital necessity for the functioning of the OS, because the registry stores critical data. With intensive use of a PC, which means installing new programs, and then removing them, the registry is actively clogged with unnecessary keys and partitions. And all this is then loaded into RAM, taking precious resources.
But there is a whole family of programs that can support the software part of your PC in “form”. The most useful of these are registry cleaner and defragmenter. If the first one simply deletes irrelevant keys and partitions, then the second organizes the registry files on the hard disk for convenient access to them, slightly speeding up the system. Let's see what useful programs in this area the Internet can offer us. For convenience, we will only talk about free programs, you won’t have to pay for any of the above.
It should also be noted that the effect of such optimizations is relatively small. Therefore, you should choose a program based on personal preferences regarding the aesthetic appeal of the interface. So let's get started.
1. Ccleaner. Helps to remove unnecessary keys and temporary files. Among them are temporary Internet files , a basket, autocomplete forms, cookies, hidden index.dat files . In addition, Ccleaner is able to work with cleaning junk files of non-standard programs - Opera, Firefox, Winzip and so on. It is possible to create a backup. The program is suitable as a registry cleaner for Windows 7, the "eight" is also already supported, like all previous versions of the OS.
2. Wise Registry Cleaner Free. Another automated registry cleaner. Features - complete security of all operations due to backup, quick return to the previous edition of the registry. Designed to work with Windows Vista, Seven and the good old XP.
3. Vit Registry Fix. A whole package of programs from a talented Ukrainian programmer. It removes not only invalid registry keys, but also unnecessary files. Additionally, it provides startup management and the presence of an application manager (as opposed to a regular one that carefully removes unnecessary registry keys during deletion).
4. Glary Utilities. Also a convenient set of software to optimize system performance. The main advantage is the correction of the main problems with the registry, shortcuts, suspicious startup programs, spyware with just one click of the left mouse button. Rather, it’s all the same to say that there are two, since changes in the registry must be confirmed. In addition to the main module, there is an auto-optimization of RAM, a security manager and a module for deleting "junk" files.
5. Auslogics Software Pty Ltd. This registry cleaner is characterized by increased speed. Convenience lies in the already classic three-step system. Just click a couple of times "next" - and you're done. Even with all the minimum functions , backup is provided. Recommended for those who need a utility to optimize the registry rather for a "clear conscience", say, service engineers, but not interested in optimizing Windows and all sorts of tweakers.
6. PowerTools Lite. We could not ignore this program. After all, this is a free version of jv16 PowerTools, a truly legendary utility from the company Macecraft Software. According to reviews, this program is the best registry cleaner. The lite version is extremely simple and sharpened by cleaning the registry and obsolete MRU entries. In simple mode, the program simply finds and corrects errors (you choose), and the advanced mode is distinguished by the ability to choose the ratio of system security to the number of errors found. Therefore, the more errors you want to correct, the higher the risk of subsequent system inoperability, so be extremely careful.
