Registry cleaner programs are very popular in the Internet
since most Windows users regardless of version often bump into
performance and stability issues as the computer keeps getting
used and new programs are installed in the system. Choosing a
good registry cleaner is essential for a healthy computer as
there are some programs that do not fix every single problem in
the registry correctly while others might even worsen the
damage. Registry Fix does exactly what the name suggests which
is to fix the registry.
Overview and Recognition Registry Fix aims
to be a very lightweight solution providing all of the registry
cleaning power in a single 1 MB setup file. Although the
scanning results can vary in quality, the friendly user
interface keeps this in the list of top registry scanners
today.
Interface and Ease of Use Registry Fix
keeps the interface very minimal having only 4 buttons on top,
a huge scan button and checkboxes to allow creation of custom
and shorter scans. The simplified interface is great for
low-end systems to handle.
Scanning Capabilities and
Performance Registry Fix is well-rounded when it
comes to scanning as it scans the common areas of the registry
where problems arise as well as detect missing DLL links, bad
file associations, improperly installed fonts, bad driver
entries, and other registry areas. The time it takes to scan
and avoidance of false positives isn't excellent, but there is
a backup function available to revert the changes just in case
the results of the scan cause trouble. Overall, Registry Fix is
a decent solution to handle basic registry problems.
Extras Features The "Startup Program
Manager" is one of the main highlights in the extras list
because it allows you to easily customize which programs will
launch when the computer starts up. This makes Registry Fix a
good utility to use to prevent certain malware applications
from running when the computer boots.
Internet Explorer users can also welcome Registry Fix in
handling the problems that come up in the program when toolbars
that are difficult to remove and suspicious add-ons are
installed in the browser. The "Browser Helper Object Manager"
makes the removal process easy restoring the browser to normal
performance.
All programs that are installed in the system can be seen in
the "Add/Remove Program Manager". Unlike the standard
"Add/Remove Programs" in the "Control Panel", Registry Fix can
remove or edit any broken uninstall entries since the list is
stored in the registry.
The entire registry can also be backed up with ease using the
"Full Registry Backup Utility". It has restore options in case
critical parts of the registry are corrupted which cannot be
handled by Registry Fix alone. With a spare backup copy, the
registry can be fully restored by feeding the backup to the
program.
Registry Fix may not solve every single problem in every
computer, but novice users can quickly improve their system's
performance and stability in just a few clicks. The added
extras also add some value to a registry scanner that is
competitively priced.
