Windows repair software can refer to one of two things. First, a part of each Windows operating system disk is a program that is designed for repairing a windows installation that has gone bad. Back in the Windows 2000 days, the
installation disk had a repair console you could boot to when your OS was in trouble. Vista, will actually let you re-install it without reformatting the hard drive. It will take all files it finds and save them in a directory called Windows/old.
However, today when we talk about Windows repair software we are usually speaking of a registry cleaner. A registry cleaner will remove all the bad files from the registry and in many cases, get a poorly performing Windows installation back up and running at 100%.
