Clean It Time

My computer seems to get slower and slower. A friend told me I need a registry cleaner. Will that really help? If so, where can I get a good free registry cleaner to do the job?

The short answer is: Yes, your computer will run better if you occasionally clean your Windows system registry. But first, let’s define exactly what the registry is…
In layman’s terms, the Windows Registry is a hideously complex ball of string, rubber bands, duct tape and bailing wire that’s supposed to keep track of Windows system settings, your hardware configuration, user preferences, file associations, system policies, and installed software. In slightly more technical terms, the registry is a database in which Windows keeps track of relationships between hardware, software and the operating system.
It was supposed to be an improvement on the collection of simple text-based INI files that stored Windows configuration settings, but too many pocket protectors got involved in the design and the result was an over-engineered, over-complicated mess that makes Windows much more fragile and harder for users to maintain. Since it is a single point of failure, problems with the Registry can make a Windows system slower, less reliable, unbootable, and in extreme cases can only be fixed by reinstalling the operating system.
That’s why you need to use a registry cleaner every once in a while.
It’s not uncommon for the registry to grow very large over time, which tends to slow down the computer’s startup and can make it unstable. You can end up with lots of unnecessary registry entries that are created when you install or remove software and hardware on your computer. Sometimes an "orphaned" registry entry can confuse Windows during startup and cause a delay. In general, slimming down your registry will make Windows run faster.
The REGEDIT command will allow you to view and edit the registry, but if you don’t know what you’re doing under the hood, just put down that wrench and back away slowly. You can do a lot of damage to your system by flailing about with a registry editor. Specialized programs exist to examine the registry, compare what’s in there to what’s really on your system, and either correct or delete erroneous entries.
REGCLEAN is a utility program included in Windows 95 and Windows 98. This program is no longer officially supported by Microsoft, but some users report that it works fine on Windows XP systems. However, I don’t recommend that it be used on XP, because the structure of the registry is different in XP than it was in earlier incarnations of Windows.
RegSeeker is a highly rated (and free) registry cleaner that I like. RegSeeker is an aggressive cleaner, and in some cases may delete registry entries that are needed. Some RegSeeker users have reported that using a RegSeeker exclusion file can prevent it from making erroneous deletions.
Another popular free registry fixer/cleaner is CCleaner, which does some additional things like cleaning up your browser’s temp files and deleting unneeded files. CCleaner has a reputation for being less aggressive so may be a better choice for non-expert users who want a free registry cleaner.
Uniblue RegistryBooster is not free (US$29), but seems to be the most advanced tool in the class. Some 3rd-party tests have shown that it improves both boot time and application launch time. In the past, I’ve read about people with problems uninstalling the Uniblue Registry Booster software after downloading a trial version. To my knowledge, the company has resolved those problems. If you are a non-techie, I’d recommend this tool over the others.
There other registry cleaners available, some free and some not. If you want to play the field, read some reviews by reputable sources like CNET or PCWorld before you install. If you’re not careful, you can get an adware or virus-laden registry cleaner wannabe that claims to do the job, but will have nasty side effects.
A Few Caveats…
Before using any registry cleaner, I highly recommend that you create a System Restore restore point, and even better, do a full registry backup with the ERUNT utility. In some cases, aggressive registry cleaning can remove entries required for some programs to operate.
I should mention that technology experts have differing opinions on the value of registry cleaners. Some adamantly claim that they cannot possibly improve system performance. Others say they might help a little, but point out that in some cases they can cause damage as well. And of course others believe they can offer significant benefits. I tend to be in the latter camp, but recommend caution when using a registry cleaner. Choose the tool that suits your level of technical expertise, and do your preparatory backups.
Making Windows Faster
I should also mention that there are lots of other things that can cause your computer to bog down. Viruses, spyware, a hard drive that needs defragmenting, and other factors can contribute to the problem. In my article Make Windows XP Run Faster! I share my special recipe to clean the icky goo out of your computer’s pipes, so Windows will start quicker, run more reliably, and go

The installation of Spyware on the computer is initiated by visiting a website, downloading a mail, an attachment or just inadvertently clicking on a download you like that brings with it a hidden program such as Spyware. Once this Spyware is installed on your system it begins to go about its malicious business of collecting your personal information and waiting for you to access the Internet so it can mail it to its master. Since

spyware is designed to work in the background, you may never know of its existence until it is too late. This is why it is a good idea to install and run anti Spyware at regular intervals to detect the existence of Spyware as well as to remove it. Then the remnants will have to be removed from the system registry by running registry cleaner software such as Computer Spyware Remover or free Microsoft Spyware Adware remover software.

How Does The Registry Slow Down?

The system registry is constantly recording all the activity of the operating system including the Internet Explorer and the sites that it is accessing. Spyware being the busy program it is, is designed to be not only one that takes up a lot of the processor time by operating in the background but also one that delays the front-end programs and services.

All the activity is recorded in the registry. This makes the registry swell out of proportion. Therefore the system must be constantly scanned for Spyware and it removed using any of the free Spyware Adware Removal tools. Now the registry is constantly being accessed for information by the operating system. Every time the registry is requested for information it starts to scan the entire record for the information. As long as the registry has a few thousand entries, it will fetch the information fairly easily but when the registry grows by thousands of entries, that too useless information, it will slow down to a crawl. When this happens, it is definitely time for action.

Download Registry Cleaner And Anti Spyware

Microsoft Windows Spyware Free Download is one of the Spyware registry cleaner software that can be accessed from the Internet. Yahoo Spyware removal and Kazaa Spyware Remover are the other reliable registry Spyware cleaner software that can do a good job of deleting the Spyware from the registry and making the system run more efficiently. When the redundant information is removed from the registry, the registry has a lot of empty spaces.

This too can slow the system down. Some registry cleaners defragment the registry as well. This is the process of bringing the registry entries closer together by taking up the empty spaces. Using a free Spyware Adware removal utility will greatly improve the operating of the system at the same time stabilizing the operating system.

The system registry is an integral part of any windows operating system. It is the central database of the operating system and is constantly referred to in order to efficiently run the computer. As the system is used and programs are added and deleted from the computer the entries are made in the corresponding sections of the registry. The programs and files or shortcuts may be uninstalled or deleted from the system but they remain in the registry. This clutters up the registry, which grows the system down, and need to be removed with special utility tools known as the system registry cleaner software.

Where Can I Find This Registry Cleaner Software?

Registry Cleaner software is abundantly available on the Internet and many of these tools are available for free downloads. The download process does not take more than a few minutes at the most and is even faster to install. The registry cleaner software, such as, windows registry cleaner, PC registry cleaner and hundreds in their creed. The registry cleaner software is very reliable and all have a registry backup program. This backup must be done with all the registry cleaner software that is used no matter if it is a freeware or a premium pack. Anything can go wrong at any time and not only with registry cleaning software.

Since the registry is the backbone of the system it must be maintained in top order. The registry, if damaged or corrupted in any way, may stall a program or even the entire system. It is possible to delve into the registry and clean out the redundant files and folders manually however; even the gurus of the registry never advise this. It is always better to use a utility such as windows PC registry cleaner to clean old data from the registry and compress the registry to make it more efficient.

Search the Internet and find the registry cleaning software that most suits your requirement. All the registry cleaners have some thing in common. This is scanning the registry for old and useless data, repairing the registry by removing the redundant data and compressing the registry and backing up the old registry in case it needs to be reinstalled. The ActiveX controls that downloads bring with them do the most damage. Once the download is uninstalled the entry in the registry remains and needs to be removed with the special registry cleaner software. The use of which will only enhance the performance of the PC.

‘Spyware’ is a term that refers to a very wide category of malicious software that has been intentionally designed to intercept or take partial control of a computer’s operation without the consent of that computer’s owner or lawful user. When the term ‘Spyware’ is taken in a literal sense, it suggests that the software clandestinely monitors the activities of the user operating the computer, however, it has over the years, come to be known as software that hampers the operating systems efficient functioning for the benefit of a third party, usually the person who created the Spyware. By downloading onto a system the Spyware will also make entries in the system registry. While it is imperative to remove the Spyware from the computer it is as imperative to remove all traces from the registry as well. This can be achieved with the help of some anti-Spyware and Adware removal utility such as Spyware removal tool.

How Does It Affect The Computer?

‘Spyware’ is candid software that downloads itself onto a person’s computer and constantly operates in the background and collects personal information of the user. For instance, it will record the entry from the keyboard every time the user enters a username and password or credit card details. The Spyware will monitor and record the information as well as which site the username and password was entered into. It will then mail this information to the host computer that the Spyware came from. In order to do this the Spyware must take over some processor time. It does this by delaying the operation of other programs or applications running on the system. This slows the system down drastically. The system can be revamped with utilities such as Kazaa Spyware removal tool that works as well as any free Spyware removal software.

Are Spyware Removal Utilities Not Enough?

Spyware removal utilities do remove the Spyware from the system they cannot delve into the registry and remove all the entries therein. The registry will have to be scrubbed clean with Trojan and Spyware removal tools specially designed for the purpose. Many of the Spyware entries will be associated with critical system files and so the anti-Spyware program will not delete them from the registry. Only a Spyware Adware remover such as any of the free Adware Spyware removal tools will scan the registry and detect the broken links and determine it they will hamper the efficient operating of the system if they are removed. If the Adware Spyware remover decides that they can be safely removed the entries will be deleted. If the entries are left in the registry they may link up to the site where they came from initially and download the Spyware again.

This tune up guide will walk you through the following steps to get your PC running speedy again. Most of these steps take only a few minutes to complete and make a big difference in your computers performance. I have used everyone of these and they all work great.

 

• Registry Cleaner
• Updated Virus Software
• Spyware Checker
• Disk Defragmenter (Defrag)

 

Your computer works hard for you all year, and just like a car it needs periodic maintenance. These four tips will help your computer keep running smooth and behaving like it should. The whole process can be done in under an hour, and most of it can be done while you are multi-tasking and even using under other applications or surfing the web. I do not count the HD defragment process here because that should be done when the computer is not in use as it takes hours.

 

 Ok so without further ado, lets get started:

 

 1. Slow Startups? – Clean that Registry!

 

 Your Windows PC loads a bunch of tiny programs every time you start up the machine. Some of these programs are actual applications and some are little programs used by the system. Every time you install a new program or update your OS you create a new Registry entry. The System Registry is a to do list for your computer. If your PC is a year or older, chances are you have installed (and uninstalled) lots of software, sometimes (like when visiting a website requiring a plug-in or a spyware application) without even realizing it!

 

 The Registry list can get cluttered and filled with bogus, removed and out-of-date entries that the computer has to check every time it starts up. I ran this cleaner on one PC and found over 1900 registry items that were no longer there. For everyone of these items the system has to look and see if the item is where it is supposed to be, then if it isn’t it skips to the next one. A single item doesn’t take very long but they can add up quick!

 

Fortunately the nice people at Eusing have created a free Registry Cleaner. This is from their website:

 

Problems with the Windows Registry are a common cause of Windows crashes and error messages. Registry problems can occur for many reasons, including references left behind after uninstallation; incorrect removal of software; missing or corrupt hardware drivers; or orphaned start-up programs. This will significantly increase the Registry size and slow down your computer, because Windows will need more time to load, search, and read data from the Registry.

 

So go download and install Free Registry Cleaner 1.6. To find the link just Google: “Eusing Free Registry Cleaner” After installation the default is to have the program run. The first thing you see will be a prompt window to register and support Eusing software. To register click the registration button and its only $15 for a great handy piece of software. Or you can click the skip button and proceed with trying it out first.

 

First scan your registry and it will show you how many broken entries are there.

 

This may take a while depending on how old your computer is and how many entries you have. After the scan, back up a copy of your current registry (under file menu). Next click Repair and viola, your registry is clean.

 

2. I Spy Evil Software! Spyware Checker

 

Remember that silly free cartoon screensaver you just had to have, or that great “free” music sharing program you installed. Well guess what, there is a good chance that you have installed software that has some nasty secret software in it called spyware! Spyware can send back your private information to people you probably do not want to have it. you may have noticed a bunch of new pop-ups, or your home page has suddenly changed, or maybe you have so many toolbars now you barely have room to view webpages? Time to run Windows Defender, free from.. gasp! Microsoft! That’s right Microsoft is giving away free software, hard to believe I know, but its true. They will check to make sure you are running a valid (eg not pirated) version of Windows before you can download it.

 

3. Is your PC sick? – update your Virus software!

 

Most people who buy a new PC get a trial version of virus software such as McAffe or Norton. These are great products but they do require a registration fee and subscription. So maybe you let it lapse and decided not to pay for it. Well good news again! The wizards over at Grisoft maintain an awesome virus protection application called AVG Free. It updates almost everyday and keeps you up to date with the latest virus definitions. They also offer some other great products such as anti-spam and anti-spyware. Download AVG and run a scan, it will clean up any viruses that have penetrated your system. You can upgrade to the full version which includes a lot of extras for a very reasonable price. To download AVG just Google: “AVG Free”

 

Download and install Windows Defender, then let it update and run, it will make sure no nasty spyware has wormed its way onto your computer. To get the installer just Google: “Windows Defender Download”

 

4. Disk Error Checking – The biggest culprit in slow startups.

 

Disk errors can give you major slow start ups and slow performance running your computer! The solution is hidden in windows, but not too hard to find if you follow this guide. – The primary hard drive of your PC, the one that holds the operating system, is usually the C: drive by default, open my computer and right click on your C: drive and click properties.

 

Now click the second tab “Tools” – The first button is Error-Checking, click “Check now…”

 

Next click the 2 check boxes, Automatically fix errors and Recovery of bad sectors and click “start”.

 

You will get a warning that says the computer cant start the disk check because windows is running, do you want to run the check at next startup – click yes then reboot your PC.

 

5. Defrag

 

This is a super important system tool that has been around for many versions of Windows. As files get copied and moved around your computer they sometimes get broken up into smaller pieces. This can make certain programs or files run horribly slow! You should do a little prep work before you defrag your drive. And because a defrag of a large drive (even 60 gigs) can take several hours! So heres what you should do.

 

“Empty your web browser cache” folder. Remove old windows programs you don’t use anymore (especially old games which take up a lot of room) “How to Add/Remove programs”. Empty your recycle bin. Delete any other old files to make as much free space as possible and so you dont end up wasting time defragging some old dancing baby video you don’t even want. Change your energy saving / screensaver settings not to sleep or shoutdown for at least 4 hours. (Right click desktop > properties > screensaver tab)

 

If your not sure how to do the things listed above, just google the phrase in quotes

 

Ok now I recommend you wait until you are done using your computer for the day, like right before you leave the office or go to bed, before you start your defrag. the defrag tool will use alot of the computers resources so its hard to do other things when its running. Defrag comes with Windows, just go under Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmeter. Click Analyze to see of the computer recommends defragging, if so, continue and it should be done when you get back. Just make sure your done for the day, because its much better to leave it run without pausing, as you may be moving a critical file.

 

Well thats about it, this should make a big difference if you are experiencing slow load times and general PC problems. If you like dthis article, please share it with a friend. You can post this article on your blog or website as long as you leave all the links in place.

A Type Library is a software file that describes software interfaces in an operating system, typically Windows. It also describes co-classes, and other resources in a Common Object Model server. A type library file created by Visual Basic will always have a .TLB extension. The .TLB file is required by a client to connect to a server.

A type library can be thought of as a binary version of an IDL (interface Definition Language) file. Visual basic creates a type library when you create a VB server object, thus eliminating the need for an IDL file. A C-like language used to define interfaces and co-classes for COM. Ole View is a COM utility that reverse-engineers a type library into a readable form of IDL. IDL is used to provide language-independence for COM interfaces so that identical interfaces defined in VB, C++, and Java look the same in IDL even though they look different in the language used for implementation.

Other Types of Type Library

There is also the type library in the system that is used to display the type or font on the screen and printed document. This type or font library is located in the systems registry. Every time a program calls upon the type library top to display the font, the type library looks up the registry to locate the type that has to be displayed. If the type is not present in the library the page displays the default of the closest matching font for that type.

So What Is The System Registry?

The operating system must have the knowledge as to where to find certain files when the programs call on them for some function. This information was initially stored in the information folder denoted as INF in earlier versions of Windows primarily 95 and 98 first edition. Microsoft introduced the registry in windows 98 Second Edition to speed things up while loading and locating programs. But this can also slow the system down drastically. This Registry is a database used to store settings and options for the 32 bit versions of Microsoft Windows including Windows ME and NT/2000. The Registry contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the PC. This registry is constantly growing and updating itself. There will come a time when it will need to be cleaned. This can be done with one of the free XP registry cleaner if you are using XP or any other Microsoft free registry cleaner.

The physical files that make up the registry are stored differently depending on your version of Windows; under Windows 95 & 98 it is contained in two hidden files in your Windows directory, called USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT, for Windows Me there is an additional CLASSES.DAT file, while under Windows NT/2000 the files are contained separately in the SystemRootSystem32Config directory. You cannot edit these files directly, you must use a tool commonly known as a registry cleaner to make any changes in the Registry. It is in fact, advisable never to fool around with the Registry unless you have a trusted registry windows cleaner such as the PC registry cleaner or the Eusing free Registry cleaner which are available on many download sites free.

I have used many software utilities which helps to speed up PC and i found that Registry Easy is the best. Is there any other utilities which can compete with Registry Easy?

Hi friend, I think you are using best software to speedup your system. I am also using registry easy since One year and to use this utility I am getting a good result. A Registry easy program is a great ornament for all computer owners, since it helps to keep a computer in perfect working order. It is great for cleaning out the system registry to help the computer run smoothly, and is even great for fixing errors and preventing system registry errors from occurrence in the future. By performing registry easy program on a usual basis, you can make bigger life of your computer and keep it running smooth.
I have a link with which you can more learn about registry easy.

I downloaded and installed "1-click answers" utility from answers.com on my win 98 machine. But installation was incomplete with message "required dll userenv.dll is missing". I contacted the answers.com and got the reply that the utility was for win xp. But I cannot uninstall the utility as I am getting the same error message "required dll userenv.dll is missing". I again contacted the answers.com and they asked me to manually remove all the relevent files, which I did. But now each time when windows starts I get error message "searching for answer.exe".

I think the registry still has entries for answer.exe. Should I delete those registry entries manually ? ( I mean all the entries not just the values). Will it cause damage to my system ?

Yes, you can search the registry and clear the entries for it, but be sure you have somewhat of an idea of what your doing, the chances of screwing up your system are slim unless you go on a delete binge, just do a registry search for answer.exe and delete those keys, pretty safe. and since you are on windows 98, you should back up your registry just in case.
