A Trick to Make Your Computer Run Like New Again

Posted by abul | Wednesday, September 16, 2009 | | 0 comments »

It's no secret that computers get older with age. It's almost a given that they will actually slow down a lot as they get older, but luckily, there's a simple trick to make them run like new again.

The problem with most computers is that when they get older, they get too many junk files on their system. This is a problem which focuses on a part of your computer called the 'registry' - the central database for Windows. Unfortunately, over the years or months that you've had your computer, many files are saved in the registry and then not deleted again when they aren't needed. This makes the database bigger and bigger, making it incredibly difficult for Windows to search through it when it needs to find a file.

Basically, the registry database is home to all the settings and options on your PC, allowing Windows to save things like your desktop theme and Internet favorites so that it can easily "remember" them when you turn your computer back on again. The registry is a very important part of your system but is also the biggest cause of it slowing down as it ages. You see, every time you want to do something on your computer, Windows has to use the registry to tell it what to do. It has to search through 100,000's of files to find instructions and commands for various tasks. This is okay, but the more files that are kept in the registry means the more files that Windows has to search through all the time, slowing it down exponentially.

Files in the registry are "deposited" when programs are installed or you change settings ,etc. However, in most cases, they are just left there even if the program that created them is uninstalled. This means that to speed up your computer again, you just need to be able to remove the 10,000's of junk files that are slowing down the registry... and to do that, you just need to use a tool called a 'registry cleaner'. Registry cleaners are software tools designed specifically to clean out the registry database, allowing your computer to find the files it needs instantly, speeding it up. This is a relatively unknown method of speeding old computers up, but is one of the most effective. After using a good registry cleaner tool, you could actually make your computer run like new again.

We've found the best registry cleaner to speed up your PC, is a tool called RegAce
