As part of my continuing series on putting the pep back in your PC this week I’ll focus on the windows registry. In my article “Why is my computer running so slow?” I described what the registry is and it can become bloated, fragmented and can impact your system performance. In this article I’ll recommend some ways to keep your registry slim and trim.
Cleanup/Defragment your registry
The registry just like your disk can get cluttered with junk and disorganized. If your have had windows running for a while and have never done this you will notice a difference. My recommendation for the Best free standalone utility is Easy Cleaner.
If you tried out IOBit’s Advanced System Care you probably discovered that a basic registry cleaner defragger is included in their suite. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the upgrade to get a deep registry clean so unless you upgraded to the Pro, ,I recommend running Easy Cleaner every so often.
