The market for Windows Registry cleaners are ever increasing since Microsoft never attempted to create their own registry cleaning solution even with the new Windows 7 release finally rolling to public. New registry cleaners get developed and existing ones like Registry Easy continue to evolve and make sure that they accurately fix corrupted registry entries to improve system performance and stability without leaving any side effects on other applications.

Overview and Recognition
Registry Easy offers an entire maintenance package rather than just a basic registry solution. It can do a full Windows optimization of Windows XP and Vista systems with a single click and comes with many solid extras that make it a reliable all-in-one maintenance solution. Wrapped in a small 4 MB file, Registry Easy squeezes a lot and delivers a friendly interface which is why the trial was downloaded over 4 million times.

Interface and Ease of Use
While Registry Easy won't break any boundaries for innovation, it is fairly easy to use with 7 large icon-assisted buttons leading to the different parts of the program each broken down to other options which will show up on the main page when clicked. The common functions like registry scanning are immediately available when the program is first launched making it easy for new users to catch on with.

Scanning Capabilities and Performance
Registry Easy is most notable for having the "1-Click Maintenance" option as the easy choice for doing all the common maintenance tasks with registry cleaning being the first. The process begins with a backup of the registry before the scan takes place to minimize the risks of any side effects to other programs caused by a complete registry scan and repair. Then a full scan is performed making sure every registry entry is evaluated accurately detecting which entries are faulty or deserve to be deleted.

The "1-Click Maintenance" feature also includes the evidence and junk files cleaners where files related to privacy and unnecessary files are dealt with respectively. These two cleaners are designed to free up space and induce privacy. Common areas of Windows are scanned for these types of files get flagged for deletion for future confirmation. It can also fix some of the common annoyances like Winsock2 problems, file association conflicts, ActiveX issues, and dead shortcuts. Performance is further boosted with the 6 utilities that it comes with. A single scan on an average PC with 3rd party apps should return hundreds of errors that can all be repaired by Registry Easy and the process usually takes less than 5 minutes in modern systems.

Extra Features
Registry Easy comes with many attractive extras including a set of IE tools called IE Tools Toolkit which is useful for Internet Explorer users that encounter problems that take advantage of IE's vulnerabilities. Some of the new additions include a file recovery module, a file splitter and joiner, several password recovery tools, and duplicate file detectors.

Registry Easy ranks up very well against the other top registry cleaners, but the solid extras and nice backup functionality make it a more valuable purchase than others.
