The Registry on a new PC is compact, efficient, containing only the entries required to run your installed applications. And that's great, but this happy state of affairs doesn't last long. As you add and remove other programs, so orphaned entries are left behind, with the result that the Registry just keeps getting larger. Over time it'll consume more RAM, and take a little longer to locate Registry values, slowing your PC down.

Windows doesn't provide any tools to manage this process, either, so if you want to restore your system to full working order then you'll need to reach for Registry Mechanic. Click the Scan button and it'll immediately go to work checking just about every Registry entry, looking for anything that might have been left behind by long-forgotten applications.

Registry Mechanic checks for a wide range of problems, too, from non-existent Startup programs, to "Add/ Remove Programs" entries that no longer point to an uninstall program, missing fonts, invalid file registrations and more. You'll be surprised just how many errors can turn up: we found almost 2,000 on one test system.

Deleting that many Registry entries may well make you nervous, of course, but you do get three layers of protection. First, it's possible to evaluate particular entries to decide whether they should be deleted or not. Second, Registry Mechanic makes backups of everything it deletes, so if you do wipe something important then it's easy to bring it back. And just in case even that isn't enough, Registry Mechanic also creates a System Restore point before carrying out any repair. The end result is you can use the program with confidence, secure in the knowledge that any accidental errors can be quickly undone.

 

Is this the full version or just an "upgrade-able" version, which has the basics and asks for 20bucks to upgrade to the real 5.XX ver?

 

Kool ..... Worked like a charm. Thanks

 

I downloaded it (version 5.2 from pctools) but it didn't accept the key.
However, I have been OK with the Eusing free register cleaner so far.

 

thanks alot

 

they did say that it works only for 5.0.xxx - one has to pay extra for upgrading to 5.2

cheers ...

 

For some reason it won't download off vnu, so I downloaded 5.0 off filefront and the key doesnt work. Dang..

dl off this one if the other one doesnt work

 

I tryied several downloads of 5.0... I found on the net, but they all ended up in installing 5.2 somehow.
Will try the link above now. Thanks, csinth!

 

whats the difference between this and CCleaner? is this one better?

 

the way i see it, registry mechanic has built in windows optimisation and registry "defrag" (?)

windows optimisation - one can do this by reading bunch of threads on the net
registry optimisation - many other out there as well

i myself prefer cCleaner - simple and quick and free

cheers ...

 

Aren't these two different types of programs?

As I understand it, CCleaner removes needless files, such as cookies, cache files, orphaned files, etc.

Registry Mechanic, as I understand it, searches the computers registry, which is NOT the same as searching the entire hard drive for useless files in order to get back some hard disk space.

Am I mistaken, or is the previous poster comparing apples and oranges?

Thanks

(Any feedback on people's experiences using RM would be greatly appreciated, both good and bad experiences)

 

it can also scan for out of whack registry entries (under issue - scan for issues) - more descriprion here

for me, this is enough

cheers ...
