Steve Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Messing with the registry is pointless unless you need to address specific issues. It's accessed so fast that removing redundant entries has no noticeable effect on the performance of your computer. I used to run one as part of system maintenance back when I didn't know any better, but they're best avoided IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doppelkorn Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 ^ agree with Steve. If you Google Lifehacker + registry there's some good help articles about this very issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I once heard registry cleaning compared to "cleaning out a space roughly the size of a car park in the whole state of Texas". I'd say this isn't too far from the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
