Review of Registry Easy

Of the six best registry cleaner products we reviewed, Registry Easy was our top pick due to the effectiveness of repair the first time the software was run and also for the pure number of features (optimization and repair) that the product offers for the price.

The chances are good that you are already sure that you are requiring a Windows registry cleaner. Still, it is always good to be sure actual errors exist before investing in full-version software. All good software programs offer a free scan before requiring the full version to repair detected errors.

The first step we completed when testing a variety of windows registry cleaner software programs was to send an email to the support and service contacts for each product. The email was intended to test the responsiveness of the each company and the manner of professionalism delivered from each. Registry Easy was the first company to respond (in only 28 minutes). This gave us confidence that Registry Easy would support us through the entire process.

Scan option includes areas like User/System Software Settings, Fonts Section, Invalid File Association, System Services, Help Section, Shared DLL, Application Paths, Invalid Shortcuts, Startup Programs, File Extensions, Start Menu Items or MRU (Most Recently Used files). Being a registry tool it would be a huge drawback not to include the registry scan option. Registry Easy has this option incorporated and it will scan your system for empty registry keys. The only problem is that - no matter the number of problems found during the scan - the user will not be able to test the accuracy of problem solving as this is one of the limitations of the application.

Backup is the second option for the user. It is designed to create a backup of your registry either before or after the scan. The developer recommends using this option after the scan is complete, as the software is equipped with a backup restore option which allows you to turn your computer back to the initial state.

The Advanced part of the program is where all the tweaking and optimizing is done. There are eleven sections covered in here: Startup Manager, Add/Remove, Junk Files Clean, IE Restore, BHO, Clean History, System Optimizer, Lock ActiveX, Tweak Memory, Restore Point and Register ActiveX.

The Startup Manager will give you an accurate idea about the processes that start with your OS and gives you an easy possibility to remove all of the unwanted. In the full version that is, as shareware will only show you the items that prevent your system to load the OS faster.

The same limitation is available in Add/Remove section, too. But at least you can take a look at all the software you have installed on your computer. Cleaning the junk files on your computer can be an extremely tiresome and in some cases impossible job if done manually. Registry Easy opens the door to the automated process of getting rid of all the temporaries that make your searches take so long. The junk files can be edited and you can add new extensions to the current list. Removing all the files is also restricted.

History cleaning option will take a look inside the Recycle Bin, in the IE Cache and Address folders as well as in Temporaries, Recent and Run MRU files. Fortunately, performing the clean in these areas is no longer forbidden and getting rid of all those useless files is done very fast.

The same good news in System Optimize function. Every optimization worked and to be frank it works pretty fine. At our test, we have reduced the computer shut down time by almost 50%. The options available include optimizing of the HDD when idle, and the Prefetch services in Windows XP.

Memory tweaking also recorded good results and at our test we have successfully gained a few percentages (10% at the first testing and another 8% until the end). 18% is not at all insignificant and the performance of the computer was increased and it was noticeable.

The Restore Point option is similar to Windows System Restore and the effects are the same.

Registry Easy is our top pick of all of the Windows registry cleaner products tested to fix errors. A huge 2,456 errors were detected in our test PC before the clean and repair was done.

After we repaired these errors we were sure to test the results with two additional software products to ensure that none of the previous errors were detected. All errors were fixed on the first round of repair, which gives us complete confidence in recommending this product.

Registry Easy is competitively priced and offers great value for the money invested. Again, before making a purchase of the full version, it is recommended that you first download the free scan software to see if errors are detected.
