Registry Cleaner

Introduction

Over time, the database that Windows and other applications use to store information (the "Registry") can begin to hold data that is no longer valid or has become obsolete. Such information can range from a reference to a file that no longer exists, to a driver that Windows is attempting to load each time you start your machine. This invalid data eventually begins to clutter your Registry, slowing Windows down and causing other possible problems.

The Registry Cleaner Tool in Super Utilities will cleanup and streamline your Registry by finding and removing these invalid data references.

How to Use

• Scan the Registry:
  1. Click the box on the item to select the item.
  2. Click the "Scan" button to perform the Scan and During the Scanning, click the "Stop" button to abort Scanning. The tree-view lists all invalid entries.
• Remove invalid entries:
  1. Select the items to delete
  2. Click "Remove" button to remove the invalid entries.
• Saving and restoring undo information:
  1. Select the "Undo Information" tab from the Registry Cleaner window.
  2. Select the item listed in the box labeled "Date and Time of Changes" that corresponds to the instance of changes you would like to reverse.
  3. Select the button labeled "Undo Selected Changes".
  4. You will be prompted to confirm your decision to undo these changes. Select "Yes" to this question.
• Backing up and Restoring the registry:
  1. Backup Now

     Select this button to save a copy of your complete registry information (which you can restore at a later date if needed). To back up your registry:

     1. Select the button labeled Backup Now.
     2. You will be prompted with a window that asks for a file name and description. (There may be times when you wish to keep several backup copies of the registry under various names.)
     3. Select the button labeled OK to complete the backup process.

  2. Restore

     Select this button to re-import a previously saved backup copy of your registry data. To restore a previously saved copy of your registry:

     1. Select the file you wish to restore from the list of registry backup files you have previously saved.
     2. Select the button labeled Restore.
     3. Select the button labeled Yes in the confirmation dialog that appears.
