Facts About the Windows Registry & Registry Repair

The Windows registry will fill up with registry errors over time. Each time you install or uninstall software, the registry is affected. Often the software will not uninstall properly and registry keys referencing files that no longer exist will build up in your Windows registry. When files like these accumulate, your computer may begin to exhibit the signs of a corrupted Windows registry.

In order to combat registry errors, you must periodically run registry cleaner software. Registry cleaners have been developed to clean all Windows systems including;

• Windows 95 Registry
• Windows 98 Registry
• Windows 2000 Registry
• Windows XP Registry
