For Windows users, it is common to have technical problems that can be solved by reformatting the drive. However, we just end up reformatting the drive because we did not really understood what the problem is in the first place. We install and uninstall so many programs that later on, complications arise - problems such as slow response freezing or hanging, blue-screen-of-death, boot error, etc.

Remember that when we install new programs, key and values are written on the registry as configuration entries. This means that the incomplete uninstallation of these programs will leave behind those keys and values. These remnants will pile up eventually which can slow your PC down. Windows Registry Cleaner is one of the best way to get rid of those unwanted files without reformatting your drive.

Generally, all registry cleaners should deliver the same results. The best registry cleaner should have an anti virus, firewall pack and an internet security. Make sure that the registry cleaner will browse through all your files swiftly. Make sure that it can get ride of unwanted back up files, duplicate files and all those temporary files. Registry cleaners of course should have a restore option which will allow you to restore your computer to its original state before the clean up in case it did not go as planned. This is because files that are crucial to the system may be removed in the process of cleaning up, which can make your computer unstable. However, with a restore option, you can immediately go back to the restore point you have set before you started cleaning. This way, you can be sure that if things go haywire, you can always make your PC go back to normal. This is why you should not manually clean your registry because you can delete those files that are important, unless you are really knowledgeable about it.

Another thing that you should think of when you look into these registry cleaners is the operating system that you are using, in this case Windows. This means that if you are using a Windows XP, make sure that you also get a registry cleaner designed for this OS. However, you can easily find products that are compatible to all operating systems except of course for Windows 7. But with the fast pace of technological developments, it would surely not take a while before manufacturers will be able to make their software Win 7-ready.
