Windows Registry Cleaner

The windows registry editor is a program you enter though “start – run.”  It is called regedit.   Don’t use it!  Okay, you can use it if you promise me you really, really know what you’re doing in there.  Or, you can use it if you are listening to someone who really, really knows what he or she is doing.

Microsoft suggests no one work on a Windows registry manually unless he/she is no less than a Microsoft Certified
Professional.  There is good reason Microsoft makes that assertion.  If we are not sure exactly what result changing a certain entry in the in the registry will have, changing this entry will usually have very bad results.  Even worse, these bad results could be irreversible!

The way to go about editing the registry is to use a registry cleaner.  Registry cleaners will restore registries to their best working condition.  This is all I need to know about fixing registries.

The only other thing I need to know about registries themselves is they are altered by any changes we make to our windows operating system.  The changes I mean are things like adding or deleting a software program.  Any change you make in the control panel will change entries in the registry.  In fact, any changes you can make through regedit, you can make and be literally walked through that same change by making it in the control panel.

The question is, why would you want to risk severe damage to your Windows operating system by using regedit when you can easily and safely make any change you could possibly need to make through the control panel?  You can relax when you are making changes through the control panel because if you if should do something weird in there, Windows will pop up a message telling so and ask you if you really want to do it.  Regedit isn’t so forgiving!

So, you can see Microsoft isn’t being smug by not wanting us to tamper directly with their registries by using regedit.  It is just that it is best to heed their advice and steer clear of the temptation to use the Windows registry editor.
