Abexo Registry Cleaner 5.3

What is Abexo Registry Cleaner? Registry Cleaner is a utility software to make your computer run smoother and faster. How does Abexo Registry Cleaner achieve this? Abexo Registry Cleaner achieves this by cleaning and compressing the registry. What is registry? Registry is a database where Windows and programs store their data. The registry is where your computer stores knowledge about the configuration of your system and your programs so that the operating system (Windows) can benefit it. The registry is structured as keys and each key relates to a program or setting on your system. Windows reads the keys and uses the knowledge to launch and run programs. Why do I need to clean the registry? When data changes i.e. you delete a file, the registry doesnt remove the invalid data, thus in this case a reference to a non-existent document folder remains in the registry. As the registry gets filled with invalid data, Windows and programs consume further system resources to search the database for any data. Therefore your computer gets slower and slower. * Viruses: Many viruses attack through the registry by creating or modifying keys. Unless you have a thorough knowledge of your system and registry keys or specific direction from a technical expert on how to search for these infected keys, it is very dangerous to try to edit the registry on your own. Any damage done to the registry at this point would require either a reinstallation of the registry from backup or a reinstallation of Windows. Either way, there will be some knowledge lost. * Tracking programs: Programs that install themselves through internet pages and track your internet usage to transmit data back to their hosts usually have registry keys associated with them. Some have multiple keys, under multiple program names or in multiple folders, within the registry. In order to fully eradicate the program from your computer, you must delete all of its associated registry keys. This can be very tricky. * Uninstalled programs: If you have recently uninstalled programs without going through the official uninstall program (or if the program did not have an uninstall feature and you deleted it) there may be some keys remaining in the registry. Without removing these keys you may encounter errors as Windows will try to operate based upon the keys. In order to fully uninstall the program, you will need to remove the associated keys. Last but not least, passing invalid data to Windows programs can cause severe system complications resulting in system crash, hang and malfunction. Which areas of the registry does Abexo Registry Cleaner scan? * Classes Section: The classes section contains all of the keys that associate document folder extensions with programs, help records associated with programs, and libraries associated with keys and programs. Repairing the classes section helps your computer determine the associations of records and formats further simply and speeds up processing and opening files. * document folder List: Whenever you open a document folder on your computer, a key is maked pointing to that file. If the document folder is moved or deleted, the key remains but references a document folder path that no longer exists. Clean Registry can search through your registry keys to find those keys referencing records that cannot be found. By deleting these keys, you can velocity up the general processing of your computer and free up memory. * Software Section: The software section contains keys associated with the programs you have loaded on your computer. * Shared DLLs: DLLs are small programs that are used by software to run larger programs. Often, programs will utilize the same DLL and may therefore install multiple copies of the DLL. This function permit you to delete shared DLLs. * Invalid document folder Associations: If a document folder that is associated with software cannot be found or has been moved, you may receive an Invalid document folder Association error. This function permit you to delete this association. * Windows Startup Run: When you start up your computer, a number of programs will start. Most of these programs will run in the background of your system (systray). You can see some of the programs and processes running by looking at the bottom right corner of your taskbar. There will be small icons indicating programs that have systray processes running. These processes are utilizing capacity from your processor and system cache and inhibiting performance. Cleaning up these records will help with velocity and system performance issues. * Application Paths: Clean Registry will check the existence of stored paths information. * Help: Many programs come with built-in help directories. This function consolidates and repairs the help records associated with your software. * Fonts: Having too many fonts on your computer can slow certain programs down. * Sounds: Associating errors, processes, or notices with sounds means added values in the registry and can cause some performance lag. This function will optimize the sounds on your system so that performance loss is minimal. What is registry defragmentation or compression? Defragmenting a system or registry is when the system removes blank bytes of data and consolidates the remaining knowledge so that there are no blank memory pieces within it. This is similar to removing filler columns in a database. Why do I need to compress or defrag the registry? After a registry cleanup the invalid entries leave empty spaces, which means the size of the registry remains unchanged. However loading a small registry is rapidly than a big one. The registry, much like any program or table of information, stores data in a specific way. As your system is configured and reconfigured, the registry rearranges the keys, and data behind the keys, so that it reads the knowledge in a way appropriate for processing. This can sometimes leave gaps between the data, which can slow processing of the information. Defragmenting can help keep your system running smoothly and efficiently. You should defragment after each registry repair. Note that defragmentation may take a few minutes and will require you to restart your system before the changes will take effect.
