In Microsoft Windows operating systems, starting from the Windows 95 system, the registry provides a central location for storing information such as the hardware that your computer uses, the settings for memory and system options and whatever applications/programs need to run when your PC is started. The system registry largely, but not completely, replaces the older and much simpler initialization file format, or INI file, which is a configuration file used in earlier Windows MS-DOS based systems (Microsoft Disk Operating System).

The registry is updated when the user installs or uninstalls application type programs or otherwise by using the Control Panel.

Over time these operations make small alterations to your computer’s registry values resulting in an over-all slowing down of your computer or a possible malfunction.

Just deleting files or removing spyware can change a section of the registry.
Over time these changes accumulate until your computer has such a build-up that it misbehaves, slows down and sometimes even stops working altogether.

Now by installing a reputable registry cleaner, such as RegCure™ you can put your PC into rehab and have it working just like when it was new.
