If you take a look at your Windows Registry (run “regedit.exe” from your start menu), you might not understand what the heck it is that you’re looking at. The windows registry stores all the settings (options) of everything on your computer – from the simple desktop to the more complicated programs you may have installed, like Microsoft Access or some extensive programming software. And the number of settings that the registry stores is phenomenal – it’s simply impossible to manage without the assistance of a software program.
To get an idea of how extensive the registry is, just think about how many programs you have stored on your computer already. Now think of how many settings each of those programs owns. Every single software program installed onto your computer is programmed to display at a specific size, display with a specific color, display a specific number of icons, display menu items, and so on and so on. The web browser that you’re using right now is set to display and operate according to a huge number of options, and if you were to try and change these options settings through the registry, you honestly wouldn’t know where to start.
Software settings are spread out over anywhere from 10 to 100 different registry folders to just as many directories. Of course the more software you install onto your computer, the bigger the registry gets – making management a critical issue – especially since a big registry will slow down a computer or even crash it should the registry prove too much for a computer’s CPU.
Regcure scans the registry looking for elements that could cause system failures (including CPU failures), program crashes, and data loss. Some of those elements include missing entries and misconfigured settings. Regcure additionally optimizes the registry too, improving the speed in which software loads. A large registry after all is somewhat like a large hard drive. When settings are spread out all over the place, it takes longer for Windows to find them. When they’re organized into a sensible system, the computer doesn’t have to waste time looking for things and programs are loaded much faster as a result.
It would be nice if software completely removed all settings upon removal, but fact is, some remnants remain behind and those remnants only contribute to increasing the size of the registry. RegCure removes uninstalled “software residue” so the computer doesn’t try to reference them upon startup. It also removes missing or corrupt font file references. Even something as simple as a misplaced or missing font can screw up a software program, and if you’re a fan of Microsoft Office, then you may remember back when Office 97 wouldn’t install correctly if a certain font was in the incorrect place. What a mess!
RegCure also repairs misplaced directory references. Ever fire up a program, and seemingly wait forever for it to load? Chances are the program’s registry references prompted the computer to look for the software everywhere but where it actually existed.
One feature that should be appealing to everyone is Regcure’s automatic scanning and scheduling tool. This tool lets you schedule when the software will scan and auto-correct the registry for you. So if you’re looking for a great way to keep your computer optimized and relatively error free without having to manually initiate any maintenance yourself, RegCure is the tool for you. With this tool, you can just fix it and forget about it.
If you’re worried about what the software changes, you can relax about that too since RegCure won’t touch anything you’ve told it to ignore. Other programs might itemize questionable files and their registry references, but RegCure completely ignores the things that you don’t want modified. It also offers a backup and restore function so if you’re concerned about making a change that you might regret, you always have the opportunity to undo the change.
The only thing that you may not appreciate is RegCure’s complicated interface. If we’re going to be frank, we have to admit this program just isn’t as user-friendly as some of the others that are available. Once you can get past that fact (and spend some time learning how to use the program), you might not want to use any optimizer other than RegCure.
