Keeping the Windows Registry Operational

Regularly maintaining the registry is a basic requirement. Fixing problems after they occur is harder than preventing them in the first place. Windows registry problems can cause crashes, slow performance and error messages. If you: - Install or uninstall software on a regular basis - have not removed software correctly - have embedded Spyware or any third party programs that start up again with each boot [whether you installed them or not] - have installed or uninstalled hardware - you have drivers on your system that are no longer needed. Then you absolutely need to be cleaning your windows registry regularly! All the above leave trace elements of themselves behind that build up over time and choke the registry.
