Computer users who have Microsoft Windows can customize just about every aspect of the operating system as well as other software programs. These changes save to a feature in the OS called the Windows Registry. Most people rarely need to access the registry, until it begins to malfunction or suffers a problem that impairs the entire computer. This is where registry cleaner utilities come in to play, correcting and reversing any changes in the registry that should not have occurred.
Microsoft doesn't offer a one-click button or option on the Start Menu to access registry entries. Instead, users must use the Run command prompt, which is visible on the Start Menu of most OS versions, such as Windows Vista and Windows 7. After clicking on Run, a dialog box appears on the screen. Users type in the following shortcut, to open a window called the Registry Editor: regedit.
At first glance, the folders in the left pane of Registry Editor look normal. However, clicking and expanding the folders begins to reveal the hundreds to maybe thousands of possible registry entries that are storing user customizations and settings. For example, something as simple as locking the taskbar in place at the bottom of the desktop may necessitate its own registry entry; other entries might change the color of the taskbar, display system notifications and convert the system time to a different zone. The point is that the average user cannot tackle the complexity of the registry.
Registry cleaner programs are everywhere on the internet. Many are from legitimate software development companies, while others come from individual computer geniuses who want to develop and market their own competing registry cleaner. Commercial software development companies may charge a fee for their products, while some vendors are able to offer the cleaner at no cost, as freeware or shareware.
Microsoft has a Web page in its domain titled, "Are Registry Cleaners Necessary?" The company's answer is generally, no, and they urge caution when installing and using third-party registry cleaners, exacerbating PC problems. In some cases, users can run the System Restore utility in Windows, which can reverse changes to the registry. Nonetheless, CCleaner is a popular and reputable registry cleaner, developed by Piriform. It has favorable reviews from many computer magazines and experts across the Web. Best of all the program is free!
