It is hard to maintain your computer and that is a very bitter fact. Especially Windows OS are annoying in the sense that their registries can be easily hacked, manipulated, destroyed or jumbled. you can’t just always format your drive and reinstall your copy of Windows again and again. For that here is a perfect solution for you.
5 Free Registry Optimizers For Windows
Registry Tuners or in other words Registry Optimizers are handy little apps that will optimize and clean your Windows Registry database. The need to clean and optimize the Windows Registry database is that when you often delete, copy, cut or move files the Windows Registry keeps making instances of registry for the location of that every file and thus some registries are left broken and some have wrong paths. So it is very necessary to tweak your Windows Registry for faster performance.

Good list DJ!
cool….thanks for this info. Now i can use to speed up my computer performance
Cool one. But I’m always frightened about programs tweakning the registry
Those are interesting tweaks that you have listed, but I haven’t tried them out to comment on their performance. However, you can also add defragmentation programs to the list of utilities that can help with performance. File fragmentation can often be the cause for a slow PC, and many people don’t recognize this or take steps to combat it.
IMHO the free defraggers are not comparable to a proper commercial defragger in terms of functionality and performance. Over the last 2 months, I have been trying out the different free defraggers, and across the board, the commercial ones have shown more stability, faster defrags and better options. From the ones I have tested, Diskeeper Pro is the best of the lot for power home users. Its not free, but has great features and performance. You can try out the evaluation version from their website if you are interested.
As for messing around with the registry, always make a backup of the registry before you decide to play with it. It has saved my hide on more than one occasion. That said, I am quite skpetical of ‘cure-it-all’ programs that claim to clean up the registry and fix all your PC problems. Nothing like rolling up your sleeves and digging into the registry to fix it manually
