Many people forget to optimize their computer and then they experience problems such as: slow start-up, crashes, errors, blue screens of death etc. until their computers become a complete pain to use.
If you are regularly experiencing any of the above mentioned problems it means your computer also definitely needs some optimization.
But let's first look at why computer optimization is so important. I will try to explain this is very common language so even the readers without much IT knowledge can understand.
Your operating system, Windows contains a large database called the registry. This database contains all the necessary information so Windows knows where all the system files, user files, settings etc. are located. The problem is Windows does not automatically optimize this database. Every time you turn on your computer new information is added to the registry, but it is barely ever removed. Therefore the longer you use your PC the more full the registry becomes. And even if a program or file is uninstalled or modified lots of information is left over in the registry. This left over unnecessary information is called corrupt or invalid registry keys.
And these invalid and corrupt registry keys are the ones responsible for the mentioned problems your computer is experiencing. The old invalid keys "confuse" your computer resulting in errors and slow-downs.
This means it is absolutely essential to keep your registry optimized. But how? Well it is easier than you probably think.
For this purpose special programs called Registry Cleaners or Registry Optimizers are developed. They are programmed to scan the registry in your computer and to delete/fix/modify all the corrupt and invalid registry keys that formed in your registry over the time. These programs are programmed so everyone can use them, all you have to do is press one button and the program does everything automatically.
There are thousands of Registry cleaners on the market and some are complete scams which harm your computer more than they help. Therefore don't purchase the first Registry Cleaner you find! They all promise the same but only few of them actually live up to their promises.
It is very important that you read a trustworthy review before purchasing any Registry Cleaner.

There are several very good built in and downloadable tools for system optimization, registry clean and repair:
- CCleaner is a tool that frees up disk space by removing unused files. It cleans temporary files, history, and cookies, etc. from common internet browsers. Additionally, CCleaner cleans out your recycle bin, Windows temp files, removes broken and unused registry entries, and other common problems that slow our computers down. You can also use CCleaner to uninstall unwanted programs from Windows and Startup.
- CCleaner is a free tool. Once you get to the website, simply Download CCleaner. They do accept Paypal donations. Donations are not a requirement to receive the software download, but I do recommend donating a dollar or two. This software really does take care of many problems and it's always nice to show your appreciation.
- Once the software is downloaded to your system, you're ready to go. The first tab is 'Cleaner.' Using this tab you'll be able to optimize your system by cleaning Windows components and application components. HINT!! I really get angry when I lose my Windows saved passwords and browsing history. Temp files can go, and cookies can go, but I've got to have my passwords! Look carefully at the boxes which are checked. Uncheck ANY that include information you'd like to keep on your system.
- The next tab is 'Registry'. Scan for issues and if you've ignored your computer for a while, you're likely to find tons of broken shortcuts, registry errors and much more! You have the option to backup the registry before cleaning, and I highly recommend checking YES to backup the registry. I also recommend running this tool several times until it comes back clean. Once it fixes numerous registry errors the first go around, it's likely to pick up more. I had to run mine about 6 times when I first downloaded CCleaner.
- The third tab is 'Tools.' This gives you the option to Uninstall unwanted programs from your system and your startup file. Only uninstall programs if you know exactly what they are used for and you're sure you don't want them. Uninstalling programs can sometimes cause you big headaches in the long run.
- The fourth tab is 'Options.' This tab is for advanced customizations. Just leave it at the default options unless you know what to look for.
- CCleaner provides regular software updates. Usually you'll receive automatic notification of updates to install, but if you're unsure, just click 'Check for updates...' Also, it's worthy to note that CCleaner does not include any viruses, spyware or adware in its download. This is a very handy program and does a wonderful job cleaning junk from your computer and optimizing your registry.
