How to keep your computer cleaned and tuned part 2 of 3

This is part 2 of a 3-part series.

The Registry

Reference the below screenshot for the registry settings. 

The Windows registry is a database that stores all the configuration information for the Windows Operating System and all of its applications. These registry items known as "keys" each have a value and each key and value are a configuration setting for a program or application. All of these settings collectively tell your computer how to make the operating system, software and hardware interact correctly. (In short it's VERY IMPORTANT!)

Keeping it clean and free of old registry keys is critical to keeping your system running smoothly. Old registry keys from old programs that have since been removed, modified, or upgraded will clutter up the registry database. When the registry database is cluttered with unnecessary information it takes more of the computers processing power to search the database for keys and values for the applications you run thus slowing down your computer.

How to keep the registry clean using CCleaner:

1. On the left hand side there is a registry tab.

2. Here there are a variety of settings you can change in the registry cleaner section of the CCleaner. Leave all of these settings checked and simply hit the scan for issues button. After issues have been found hit the fix selected issues button. Congratulations you're done!!!
