RegistryEasy – Ease your Windows Registry Woes

The Windows Registry is a database of parameters and fine details that control the working of your system. Any errors or intrusions into the Registry can adversely impact its performance. Frequent installation and removal of software, entries made by viruses and malware, as well as improperly configured browser objects are some of the reasons which may leave the Windows Registry in a bad shape.

RegistryEasy to the Rescue

RegistryEasy is a handy program that carefully sniffs out irregularities and errors in your Windows Registry and provides you with a simple one-click interface to select and fix them. The intuitive interface of the software helps even amateur users to take control of their Registry maintenance.

Here is a detailed review of its features:

1.    Windows Compatibility – RegistryEasy Version 5.6 is compatible with Windows 98, 2000, XP and Windows Vista.

2.    Download and installation: The free version of the software entitles you to free scan, and is readily available through the company website – www.registryeasy.com. The size of the installation file is merely 3.8 MB, and the server is quick enough to make it download in a matter of a minute or two on an average broadband connection. On double-clicking the installation file, the software installs easily through a simple wizard.

3.    Scan and Detect: With few simple clicks, you can select the areas of your system and initiate the scan. RegistryEasy effectively detects registry errors such as Windows Installer errors, DLL errors, Runtime errors and Blue Screen causing errors. The software also helps you find and remove unwanted junk and duplicate files from the system. This, in turn, helps you effectively manage space on your disk.

RegistryEasy has an interesting feature of Evidence Cleaner that removes traces of private data left behind in the browser and program cache. This ensures total security and helps in preventing data theft.

4.    System Optimizer: This feature tweaks the registry to speed up the performance of the system. The System Optimizer basically does three things –

•    It disables unwanted programs that run continuously in the background and consumes precious memory
•    It optimizes the browser and internet settings for faster browsing.
•    It tweaks the performance of your system memory by recovering and arranging unused segments in it.

5.    Fixing of errors: RegistryEasy provides you with a host of tools to repair any errors found after its exhaustive scan. The tools include fixing of errors such as those with regards to Windows System Keys, File Associations, ActiveX Registrations and Invalid shortcuts.

6.    Backup Facility: The Backup feature allows you to create restore points that help you undo effects of any scan and fix operation. You may want to do this if you find any problems after a scan and wish to revert back to a previous state of your system.

7.    License and Pricing: The free scan allows a fully featured scan but it allows you to fix only 4 types of errors. For complete advanced functionality that allows you to fix all errors, you will have to subscribe for a fee of USD 35.

Conclusion

RegistryEasy provides scan and protection from a wide variety of errors that may creep in your Windows System Registry. With over 4.4 million claimed downloads, the software does have a fair share of popularity that matches its rich features, and simple to use interface. The price point of USD 35 for the complete version is marginally higher than other alternatives available in the market. The additional cost however, can be justified by a faster and error free system that results from a thorough scan of RegistryEasy.
