Have you ever noticed that when you buy a new onecomputer or installing a new operating system it works much more quickly and quietly than when you use it for half a year, torturing constant climbing on the Internet or permanent installations-deletion programs? This all happens because the computer's registry gets clogged with time, becomes cumbersome, and every day it takes him much more time to complete tasks to find the right information and use it.
So, what is the registry in the computer?
Just like in each computer, the processor andRAM - a kind of brain device, and in the software part - in every operating system there is a brain. This brain is a registry - a database of programs, drivers, devices - already connected and those that periodically connect, settings of installed programs and even data about files and folders in the computer. In a word, all the information that helps the system to work stably, and also to know what and in what form should be launched.
Why does the computer slow down?
What is the registry in a computer, know notall PC users. However, during each of our work with the computer, the data in the registry is constantly updated, after a while this information grows so much that the computer starts to react longer, load slower and "slow down" more and more. It also happens because many users do not think about how to correctly uninstall the program. Do not know or do not know how and instead of the usual uninstaller remove unnecessary data, straight forwarding to the trash. Folders with files disappear, but the data that they were, their settings, remain in the registry - now as garbage.
Have found out, that such the register in a computer and forwhat it is needed for. Now it is clear that not only the hardware in the computer, but also the system needs cleaning periodically. You can entrust this to a specialist, or you can do it yourself, by pressing the "Win + R" key combination and typing "regedit" in the window that opens. The next window will be divided into two parts. The left part - the structure of the entire registry, consisting of five root folders, and the right - the data values. Such a simple combination of letters will make it easy to find where the registry is in the computer.
What is the registry?
The names of all key folders begin with "HKEY" and specifically talk about their content:
- CLASSES_ROOT - contains data about all types of files in the computer and about embedded COM-servers.
- CURRENT_USER - stores information about the work of the user whose profile is currently running.
- LOCAL_MACHINE - the most meaningful folder, carrying a database of all the drivers, programs and settings.
- USERS - here is information related to all users of the computer.
- CURRENT_CONFIG - this folder contains information about all the devices and drivers that are currently running.
How do I clean my computer registry?
Now, knowing what information is contained in thefolders, you can clean the registry manually. But do not forget that this way you can disable Windows, so we recommend using special programs for cleaning. There are a lot of them online, and it's difficult to determine which is the best, because some recommend "Jv16 PowerTools", others consider it to be "CCleaner". Several years using this and the other, I recommend "TuneUp Utilites". It not only helps to clean the registry, but also will organize all the data of the computer.
P.S. Telling what the registry is in the computer and how to clean it, we did not mention that when using programs to clean the registry it is not recommended to install and use several at once. Different programs have different principles of operation, this can also lead to incorrect operation of the system.
