Microsoft Windows based computer
will gradually slow down from time to time. The biggest
issues are caused by registry growing. Registry growth is
unavoidable because of:
1. Uninstalled programs don't clean up the registry.
2. Too many information stored in the registry instead of
database.
3. Temporary information not cleans up.
4. Too many programs installed.
Window
Registry was first introduced in Windows
95, it was design to replace the old .ini file, which allows
not just 2 levels of grouping in settings, but unlimited
levels of tree settings! Microsoft likes complexity, they
think of simplicity as outdated technology, which still
widely use in other operating system, like UNIX and Linux.
Because of the Advance technology, windows' user has to
upgrade their
computer to process the registry
information! And this is bad news for me, because I am just
like others, cannot afford to upgrade the computer every
single year! The cheapest way is to do regular maintenance
on registry.
Until .NET platform become popular (3/5 years down the
road), we still need to rely on this bad design
architecture, and we have learn how to live with it - Use
some registry cleaning tools.
I remember my first registry cleaner was from Norton
utility. That was the old days where Norton utility was the
only few proper tuning tools for windows! Nowadays we have
over hundreds types of registry cleaning tools; some are
pure registry cleaner, some are subset of a larger toolset.
I prefer to use more professional registry cleaner, larger
toolset doesn't provides a very effective cleaning. The
ideally best registry cleaning tool must be able to
identified unwanted registry entry, safely remove identified
items and able to optimize and compress the registry to its'
minimum!
If your personal computer is slowing down, first thing you
should do is to uninstall all unused, unnecessary and
unwanted software from your operating system, try to keep
your window software as less as possible (Not to say you
can't have more), and focus on the tools that you really
need.
Secondly, you should use one or few proper registry cleaning
tools to tidy up the registry, eliminates all unused
settings, information in the window registry, but remember
to backup the registry first! Most registry cleaning tool
will provides backup function for restore, if the cleaning
"too much" and cause unstable behavior to the software or
window operating system.
Never, ever use a registry cleaner without backup function!
(Unless you want to backup manually every time before
cleaning)
After cleaning up the window registry, you should restore
30% or more of your computer performance. If you still feel
that the system is slow, you might be infected by virus or
spyware, scan your computer with Anti
Virus and Anti Spyware Software.
If you want to regain more speed, better startup and
shutdown, free up your memory and unleash the power of your
window, you should visit
