Many define a Windows Registry as the blueprint of Windows 95 or Windows 98 systems. When you change its setting, it automatically updates every time you choose a new program for example replacing your Windows wallpaper. It also has all programs and setting locations of Windows. And as we all know, the Windows or system registry is the brain of the computer’s operating system or most commonly known as OS. Windows registry should be kept safe as it has many potential tweaks that could harm it. For sometime, it becomes corrupted for a reason and must be fixed. Backing it up is one important thing you must not only consider, it should be done once you start using your computer after purchase or when you have new files that needs to be kept safely because if it can’t be fixed, you would learn your lesson. If you are a new user and don’t know where the Windows registry’s location, start with turning on your computer then type and make a search of “regedit”, regedit.exe”, or “regedit32.exe” to obtain the Registry editor in a window. Editing it is one major problem solver like speeding up your computer or when you had missing fonts or icons. When editing, make sure of the files or programs there that you need to change. For a faster access, make a search of the specific keyword that relates to your needed information. It will be helpful as a registry is not just big, it’s a real big location and making navigation on it for search one by one would become tiring to anyone. Then when you have made a selection of the one you should edit, take notice of the line codes that appears in the right pane.

By this point, you will be able to make the needed changes, make sure not to make a mess like making a wrong move. And then you can save it and close the editor. The changes will take effect once you already restart your computer. Another method to fix the registry is through a PC registry cleaner. These cleaners are widely available through the PC world, and for a much faster access, internet would be a good resource. Make a search of this cleaner and read reviews or articles about it; ask experts and different opinions from other users. Finding one isn’t hard, especially if you go to PC forums, there you could have personal and live chats with other people about it. But everything will still be up to you, select what you think is best for you to use. There are free wares, however many good ones are not available for free. But it doesn’t require much cost to get one, if you really need one then invest on the little amount. One thing to consider before purchasing one is making sure it’s compatible with your Windows version. When you had one, had it downloaded, then launch and scan your PC. It would be a great help.
