WinASO has come up with a winner in their Registry Optimizer program that does so much for speeding up your computer and optimizing not only your registry but other parts of your computer at the click of a button. The program is small and installs in a minute but it does so much and for someone who works on computers with installations and constant problems I really enjoy a program that does all this one can.
WinASO Registry Optimizer is one of several programs available from WinASO that performs routine cleaning and performance enhancements to your computer. The Registry Optimizer is a Windows specific program that runs on any computer from Windows 98 to the current Windows Vista.
There are a several main sections to the Registry Optimizer and each has its important role, the main one is the actual cleaner and scanner that searches for problems on your computers registry. The registry is a section of your computer that stores important information about your computer’s hardware and software that enables your computer to run correctly.
If the registry of your computer gets errors your computer will start to have problems or run slower, same thing for too many entries as well. Cleaning out this registry takes a few minutes a week and can mean a better faster and error free computer for you. The Clean Registry section of Registry Optimizer does a thorough cleaning and checks for errors in each of 22 different areas of your registry.
Each section or area of your registry may have different problems such as bad entries, ones that point to deleted programs or hardware or ones that have been entered by spyware or malware that you really want to delete. You can search each section separately or choose them all and run them all together for a complete cleaning. One nice feature is being able to select each section, especially when it comes to checking the separate drives for unused program shortcuts. If you have checked the drives previously and not added any new files or backups to a seperate drive that you use for backup there is really no need to complete a scan of these drives so having them unchecked when searching for problems is a nice option.
I use the Clean Registry section of Registry Optimizer at least once a week and sometimes several times a day when installing and removing programs but especially when working with video cards and their drivers. The ATI video cards often have problems with leftover registry entries so cleaning them all out is a must and the WinASO Registry Optimizer does the trick with ensuring they are all taken care of.
The scanner will take a short time for a new computer to check all the entries but on more used computers with larger registries it can take up to about five to ten minutes. Mine has taken as long as fifteen minutes when there are a lot of problems and things to check or if I have not done a regular cleaning like I should be. I have found as many as five or six hundred errors or things the program wants to delete so there can be times when this program is a life saver for my computer.
