- 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;

- initial state.
