Registry Fix is reaping the benefit of being a rare find in the Windows XP repair utility market. While other software developers are focusing on blindsiding their customers with spyware and hidden junk, Registry Fix does what it says on the package; it fixes your registry.
It does nothing more, but it does it's one stated task fairly well.
Registry Fix isn't particularly easy on the eyes. It has a basic interface with icons used to navigate between the various scans and configurations. That said, this utility is perfectly suitable to the beginner user. If you can manage a mouse click to scan, and a mouse click to repair, this utility won't offer you any trouble.
A quick scan of your Windows XP registry with the scanning feature of Registry Fix will report back with its findings. Instead of going in and fixing each individual error ourselves, we can automate the process with this handy utility. If you're not technologically inclined, it's much easier to deal with the terms "Error" and "Fix". But for those wanting a more conclusive rundown of what these errors actually are, you might want to look elsewhere. Registry Fix tells you that it's about to fix something, but it's not always great for telling you what's wrong!
There's also a tool to keep on top of the programs that start when you load up your operating system. Have you noticed that it seems to be taking longer than it did when you brought it home from the store for the first time? That's because as time goes by, Windows accrues many, many additional files and configurations which combine to slow down the system if left to load on boot. Registry Fix gives you full control of the programs that will load when you sign on.
To top things off, Registry Fix has a comprehensive back-up/restore suite - an absolute must for any respectable registry cleaning application. This ensures that you can back-up your registry in the event of a virus or self inflicted corruption (it happens!).
If it's pure registry cleaning you're after Registry Fix does the job like a champ, for registry cleaning software that with all the bells and whistles look to one of the larger, more featured apps in our rankings.
