Windows registry comes in to action as soon as the computer system is turned on. All the read and write operations are carried out in it. On installing or un-installing the programs, all the configuration settings and information about the program is stored in Windows registry. Because of this when the system is crowded with a huge number of programs it becomes slow. It is the most crucial area of the Windows operating system because in case, any uneven changes are made in the Windows registry, it may lead to the situations of slow processing, freezing or sometimes even the event of system crash occurs.
So, it is necessary to take care of Windows registry. It should be properly cleaned of junk or unnecessary files and dealt with. There are two ways to clean Windows registry. One is to manually clean the registry of unwanted content and the other is to implement the job of cleaning using the registry cleaner programs.
Let us see the manual way of cleaning registry. Start with taking the backup of the old registry entries. After the backup process the next step is to open the registry editor window by clicking on Start button, followed by Run and type Regedit in the Run textbox.
This step will open the registry editor window. Now you have to look out for empty registry keys, unwanted programs or files stored in the registry after the removal of a program. After assuring that the particular entries, which have been discussed before, are unwanted and are not used by the system, you can go forward to remove them. Close the registry editor, when task is completed.
Note: These steps are well tried in the Windows XP operating system, so it can not be made assured that the same steps will apply for any other version of Windows operating system. Try these steps only when you have a good command of working on the Windows registries. Otherwise, it will lead to a dangerous situation.
