Registry Easy Review

"Registry Easy™ is an excellent Windows Registry Cleaner that scans your PC and safely cleans errors & invalid entries that cause system slowdowns, freezing and crashing. Registry Easy™ repairs registry problems to make your computer run like new again!"

Registry Easy has 5 buttons on the opening screen: Scan & Clean, Backups, IE Tools, Optimize System and System Tools. It also has options which is not part of the main 5.

Options:
Let's go to options first. Here you can select if its to run at Windows startup, do automatic update check and most importantly it has a scheduling feature so you can set it and forget it and it will scan your registry automatically whenever you want. The only thing missing is the automatic fix errors option, but we can't have everything.

Scan & Clean:
What is interesting about the main buttons is that each one has submenus too. Scan & Clean has 4: Registry Cleaner, Evidence Cleaner, Junk File Cleaner and Duplicate Cleaner. The registry cleaner is self explanatory, it just scans the registry for errors which is the main portion of the application. Evidence Cleaner does what it says. It basically clears your browser history settings and things like last opened document in Word etc. Junk Cleaner scans and allows you to remove temporary files that clog up the system, filling up the hard drive. The duplicate cleaner searches your system for duplicate files and allow you to remove unnecessary files that you might have 2 or 3 of. It has filters for pictures and music etc. All in all very good features to have.

Backup:
This allows you to take a backup of your registry and create a system restore point in XP or Vista. This is highly recommended before you do anything. When I tried to click the System Restore button it just gave me an error: Class not registered. It's just because I have System Restore disabled (By the way, this is NOT recommended that you do, but for my use it is)

IE Tools:
It has 2 choices, BHO Manager and IE Restore. BHO Manager allows you to simply enable or disable plugins in Internet Explorer which might come in handy if you experience some problems with a certain plugin you might have. IE Restore allows you to fix Internet Explorer and claims that it can make it run faster. It did not make mine run faster though, but I suppose it does something.

Optimize System:
Ok at this point you have already forgotten that it is a registry cleaner because under Optimize System it has 5 choices: System Optimizer, Block ActiveX, Error Utilities, Register ActiveX, Tweak Memory. System Optimizer does what it says on the tin. Block ActiveX protects your system for intruders by disabling ActiveX which is possibly the hackers choice nr.1 for vulnerability. Error Utilities supposedly fix system errors preventing you getting a blue screen etc. Register ActiveX claims the re-registering ActiveX will solve a lot of system crashes etc. and make your system stable. Tweak Memory allows you to recover lost memory and tweak the system for better performance.

System Tools:
It has 2 system tools: Startup Manager & Uninstall Manager. Startup Manager allows you to control what starts up when Windows load and Uninstall Manager allows you to safely uninstall applications. The Uninstall Manager didn't work for me, giving me error: Invalid Data Type for 'DisplayIcon'.

Summary:
If you want an application that does "everything" then this is it. It is the Swiss army knife of registry cleaners. So how good is it in cleaning the registry? Well it found 3657 errors in about 16 minutes. That means it is the second best Registry cleaner out there.
