Excellent registry-repair program
Desc
The registry is one of the most essential components of Windows OS,
critical to proper functioning of any PC computer. Unfortunately, as
more and more programs gets installed and then removed, the registry
becomes more like a digital dump, full of incorrect shortcuts,
invalid extensions, and missing entries, which dramatically hinders
computer performance.
Advanced Registry Doctor Pro is capable of scanning for, diagnosing
and curing multiple registry problems, which averts possible
malfunctions and crashes, and significantly improves the speed of
computer loading and performance. In addition, the program comes with
a set of advanced options, like registry defragmenting, built-in
scheduler, backup and restore feature, history log and many other
perks - a registry toolkit, for example.
This version of software looks through the following data for
possible “registry spoilers”: application paths, uninstall
information, COM/ActiveX objects, help files, file extensions, font
files, most recently used files list, shared DLLs and folders,
startup applications, Windows/MS-DOS Shortcuts. The automatic cure
options means that any person, regardless of his or her PC literacy
level can solve registry problems by simply pressing a button.
Advanced users can opt to make registry changes manually.
ARD can bring some of the dead links back to life. For example, that
is if you’ve accidentally moved your files (font files, help files,
shared folders, shared DLLs, etc) to some other place. The main point
of using ARD is that it will do the entire job for you; you just have
to select which problems to search (categories) and HDD list, which
will be used by the program for finding solutions. Usually you'll
have to use ARD when new program is installed/removed.
