After months of use, you might notice your computer's speed has been tarnished since the day you bought or built it. One of the most common ways to keep your computer up to speed is to keep the registry clean. The registry is where Windows configuration files among others are stored. The fewer files that are in your registry, the less time it will take Windows to sort through the registry. Uniblue's Registry Booster 2 will be put to the test to see how a cleaned registry impacts performance. Just how clean will the registry be? How much will performance be altered? Is this registry software safe to use and will I have to worry about it corrupting registry files? Let's dig in to find out.

Uniblue Registry Booster 2 Review
EDIT: So, does anyone else use a software like this? I've tried a few over the years and I've found that they don't really improve performance, they just delete a lot of keys.

You manually pick through your entire registry looking for keys that might be erroneous? Many of the folders/keys/values aren't plain-English, so how do you decide what stays and what goes?Is this any better than a good manual cleaning?
