We live in a world where we can get just about anything we want, whenever we want it. A hamburger at three in the morning? A money order on a Sunday? The weather forecast for the picnic this afternoon? You got it!
Advances in technology in particular have made us accustomed to instant gratification. With cell phones that take pictures and enable live chat, we expect our home computers to operate at the speed of light. With fiber optic cable modems you can now access the web in a flash. But what about when your operating system is slow? When Windows becomes sluggish it leaves us frustrated, searching for a solution.
On every PC exists a directory called the windows registry. The registry is a fundamental directory that houses information and settings for the user, software, and hardware. It is a low-level directory that stores very basic information, and there is hardly a single program that can run without accessing the registry.
Every time you install new hardware or software for example, a setting may be added to the registry. It is also possible that an old setting gets replaced. Downloading attachments from your email, or viewing certain web pages can also impact the registry—again, there isn’t much that you do on your PC that doesn’t rely in some basic way on the information stored there. This directory is constantly being added to, edited, and rearranged.
Over time, the registry gets crowded and cluttered. When you start up or reboot your PC, or try to load a program, your computer will attempt to retrieve the information it needs from the registry. If this database is unorganized, it obviously takes more time to access the necessary information. Additionally, the information may be incorrect, filed in the wrong place, or possibly no longer even exists.
If you want to speed up Windows, a registry cleaner is necessary. Compatible with all Microsoft products and third party applications, RegCure is arguably the best and most complete registry cleaner available. RegCure uses advanced technology to analyze your registry for missing, obsolete, and corrupt entries. Designed to provide computer users with the most advanced prevention and maintenance tool available, it offers the most comprehensive feature set on the market plus free customer support. You can download RegCure to scan your computer for free at RegistryRepairProgram. This scan will identify any errors in your registry, and if you choose to use RegCure to repair them, a slow operating system will be a thing of the past.
By no fault of our own, we have developed a “I-want-it-now!” mentality. The technology that surrounds us has encouraged this, but when it fails to provide immediate results, it can be extremely frustrating. A slow running Windows operating system is no exception. Knowing what the Windows registry is, and how it is impacted by daily use, can help you understand why your system slows down over time. But the solution is simple: use a registry cleaner and your Windows will be back up to speed in no time.

Most of the performance claims made by companies that sell registry cleaners are pure fantasy. Removing the wrong key can leave you with a computer that will not run or a program that will not work. Using Windows Live OneCare "full scan" is probably the safest and good enough for all users.

Registry Cleaners
Myth – "Registry Cleaners improve performance."
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/XPMyths.html
Reality – "A few hundred kilobytes of unused keys and values causes no noticeable performance impact on system operation. Even if the registry was massively bloated there would be little impact on the performance of anything other than exhaustive searches."
Notes – "Registry Cleaners can fix problems associated with traces of applications left behind due to incomplete uninstalls. So it seems that Registry junk is a Windows fact of life and that Registry cleaners will continue to have a place in the anal-sysadmin’s tool chest."
