One of the most popular operating systems to date often turns out to be Windows operating system from the Microsoft corporation. It is true that Windows is mostly easy to use. There are also tutorials and wizards that will help computer users find their way along Windows. However, though, Windows is not all good either. There are quite a few drawbacks that always come with any versions of the Windows operating system. For one, this operating system from Microsoft tends to come with plenty security holes for bugs and attacks by viruses. Another drawback is the registry.
At this point of time, some PC users may be asking themselves what is wrong with the registry in fact. Well, if the registry is neat and clean as how it was when users first installed Windows on their computer, then there will be nothing wrong with the registry. However, unfortunately, it is impossible to keep the registry that way. The reason is because as time goes by, users' needs change. With the change of users' needs, come new applications to fulfill their needs. For example, most PC users tend to install Office applications later since they are not pre-installed with the operating system itself.
Unfortunately, when PC users either install or remove applications from their computer, these applications tend to modify the registry in one or more ways. This results in the computer performing poorer than it used to. The registry is now not so neat anymore and that is the main reason.
But this does not necessarily mean that PC users have no hopes of getting the former performance of their computer any longer. With the help of third party registry cleaning applications, they will be able to clean up their registry once again and in no time at all. But they should choose wisely which application they want to choose as each has their own pros and cons and some will even need users to pay for it.
ARO 2011 is one good example of registry cleaning applications. Even though it is a shareware, meaning users will have to pay for it, it is quite worth it. ARO 2011 is a registry tool that can surely clean up cluttered registry. In addition to that, it can also back up the registry before it modifies it. But that's not all just yet. ARO 2011 can also perform a simple disk defragmentation. Yet, although it is simple, it is pretty helpful in making sure that everything works as expected.
