Slow Running Computer?--It's Easy To Fix It

We all slow down as we get older and computers seem to be in the same boat --but for different reasons. When you get your shiny new computer and first start it up it goes like a champion race horse. You flip almost instantly from one website to another without hesitation. Then one day--maybe it takes a year or two-- you begin to notice that things are slowing down. It takes longer and longer for the computer to start up. Moving from one website to another isn't instant anymore. As time goes by it gets slower and slower.

What is wrong? Why is that once fast computer now crawling along at a snails pace? Well in most cases the answer is quite simple-- your registry is bloated and loaded with unecessary junk. What is your registry? To put it very simply it is a databank of information which the operating system uses to run the computer and perform the tasks you ask it to do. All Windows computers since Windows 95 have a registry.

The registry becomes bloated with thousands of pieces of junk as time goes by. There are pieces of programs which were not completely uninstalled, pieces of programs which were never completely installed,useless drivers and shortcuts and a host of other items. You very likely have some spyware in there also,which has been installed unknown to you and which is carrying on anonymous business behind the scenes. In short your registry is full of pieces of junk data which the operating system must pick its way through to carry out its work of running the computer.

Having all these pieces of junk in your registry leads to a great slow down of your computer and can also cause freezing. The solution to this problem is to remove the junk from your registry. How are you going to accomplish this? Every Windows computer has a function called regedit installed which you can use for this purpose. So long as you know which items you cannot remove and which items should be removed you will have no problems. Just delete the items you want to remove and thats it. Its really simple. Or is it? Do you know which items must remain in the registry. If you remove them you may put your computer completely out of action. They are essential for its operation. Other registry items are needed to run programs on your computer. Do you know which is which? If not it would be very unwise to try to do a registry cleanup manually.
