"The registry is one of the most important parts of Windows. Inside it we find settings that make both Windows and other programs tick. Anyone who has delved into it knows it is a dark and scary place and one you usually try to stay out of unless you really need to change one of those settings Microsoft would wish you did not try to change. Over time the registry, just like Windows in general, has a tendency to fill up with unneeded content, many times left by uninstalled programs that do not know it is not polite to leave stuff behind. Registry cleaning programs have been around as long as the registry has existed. A quick search for “Registry” and “Clean” over at Tucows.com results in several hundreds of results so it is obvious that this is a lucrative niche.

Today I am testing the program RegistryBooster 2 from Uniblue, a program that promises to clean, repair and optimize the registry for you."
