OVERVIEW
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a number of software installations and un-installations, the registry
becomes full of nagging file references pointing to where the files used
to reside but no longer exist. Registry First Aid will find any files
and folders that may have been moved on your hard drive and help you
correct the registry entries that point to them.
Registry First Aid scans registry for orphan file/folder references,
invalid font references, obsolete Start Menu items, invalid fonts,
shared DLLs, application paths and more...
Registry First Aid finds referenced files, folders or fonts on your drives
(if they're moved from initial locations) and corrects registry entries
to located objects. Also, if your registry still retains links to file(s)
of deleted applications, Registry First Aid will find these invalid entries
and you might want to delete them. With this powerful tool, your Windows
registry will be always clean and correct.
Registry First Aid allows you to:
- find and correct invalid file/folder references in Windows 9x/NT/ME/2000/XP registry;
- find and correct invalid font entries;
- find and delete obsolete Start Menu items;
- find and correct invalid application paths;
- find and correct invalid registered help files;
- find and correct invalid shared DLLs references;
- search matches for invalid entries on user's computer;
- open folder where an invalid registry key refers;
- open RegEdit at an invalid registry entry;
- full registry backup before any changes;
- backup modified registry entries to backup files of RegEdit4 format,
so you are always able to restore your Windows registry to it's
initial state.
- save list of found invalid entries into text file;
- print list of found invalid entries;
