The Windows registry file is the place that tracks any kind of changes that are happening in our computer. New software installations, new hardware installations, software removal; they are all recorded in the clean registry file.

In time, with the hundreds of hours of usage, the registry file can become very agglomerated and thus your system will not perform at its best. Some users will think that there must be a virus or a Trojan affecting their system, which is most likely to be true as well. That’s why if you need to solve this problem, you should look for a cleaning registry tool.

Saving your registry file

Before attempting to make any changes to the registry file, just make sure you are to save it someplace safe in case anything goes wrong. For this you will need to go to “Start”, then to “Run” and here you will need to type “Regedit”. After that a new window will pop and you will need to go to “File” and then to “Export”.

After that you are good to go and choose to make any changes you want to it. But keep in mind not to mess with it if you’re a newbie, for you can make your system completely unstable.

Tools to repair your registry

For those who do not have what it takes to manually deal with the problem, there are specialized tools that can help them out. The good news is that there are also many such tools which are free, like Eusing Registry Cleaner, LilRegCleaner, Argente Registry Cleaner and many more.
