Registry Easy Review

Review of Registry Easy 4.2 by – RegistryEasy.com
Rating: 4.7/5 stars     Price: $34.95

This latest version of Registry Easy (version 4.2) was released in February 2008. And like its predecessor versions, this version is lacking very little in comparison with its main competition. If Rolls Royce is the top of the line in automobiles, then Registry Easy is top of the line when it comes to cleaning and optimizing your Windows registry. This program has everything that a power user could want and then some.
 
Registry Easy scans for all the same errors as the other registry repair tools do, but it scans for more of them and it does it better. It generally finds more empty registry key items than any other cleaner we tested. Its algorithms go deeper into the registry than any of the other cleaners in search of anything that isn't absolutely necessary. Our tests showed that this registry cleaner found, in some instance, almost twice the amount of potential errors as other comparable programs found.

And it does all this, and more, at a nominal price: it's only five dollars more expensive than its closest competitors. For the power user, it is well worth the price for the comprehensiveness it brings in cleaning, repair, and optimization capabilities. Its Scan & Clean feature comes with four different settings: a registry cleaner, an evidence cleaner, a junk file cleaner, and a duplicate file cleaner. In addition to repairing the registry, these extra feature will help to clean the browsing history, the browser cache, and temporary system files. 

In addition to the Scan & Clean feature with four different settings, Registry Easy has four added features, each with their own choice of settings. The Backups feature contains not only a registry backup utility but a system restore points option as well. If it ever deletes a file necessary to your system's operation, the user can easily restore the system to a previous time, undoing any harmful changes to the system.

The IE Tools feature contains a "Browser Help Objects Management" utility as well as an Internet Explorer Restore capability which allows   it to restore the IE browser to its default settings to help IE run faster, all with the convenience of a single click of a button.

The Optimize System feature in Registry Easy contains five different optimizers: the "System Optimizer" allows the user to optimize the Windows system for speed and efficiency. The "Block ActiveX"  feature will block malignant ActiveX Controls to protect your computer. The "Error Utilities" feature scans and fixes your Windows system errors, protecting it from crashes, freezing, and blue screen problems.

The "Register ActiveX" feature for ActiveX and .dll objects registry keys seeks to address some curious Windows problems such as the inability to open new IE windows, websites displaying incompletely, inability to auto update Windows, inability to select film model to watch picture, random errors with Media Player, and so on. And the "Tweak Memory" feature will allow the user to reclaim unsued memory. And we're not finished yet with the extras included in Registry Easy 4.1.

Registry Easy's System Tools feature contains two items: a "Startup Manager" and a program "Uninstall Manager." In all, five main features each with its own sub-features for added capability. One thing to keep in mind is that many of these extra features may be contained in other third party programs like TuneUp Utilities. So, if you are a power user who enjoys getting the maximum performance out of your PC, you may be duplicating capabilities you already have available on your system. Yet, in this case, a little duplication can be handy as each application may target different objects, allowing for a more thorough scan and optimization.

Any way you look at it, Registry Easy is a formidable and impressive registry cleaner for the money. If you like the idea of purchasing a solid registry repair tool that contains a lot of extra bells and whistles, then perhaps Registry Easy is the way to go. It certainly won't hurt your pocketbook while at the same time giving you top-of-the-line capability at cleaning and optimizing the performance of your Windows machine. You won't regret the thoroughness of the job it does while resting easy with the peace of mind that you are able to maintain your registry in an optimal performance condition.
