To some degree all regcleaners scan for errors in your registry and effect repairs. Each utility has its own preferences but many obviously overlap. Registry Booster has an extensive list including, but not restricted to:
Commensurate with all Uniblue products the layout is clear and the information is obvious. The help file, which I recommend you all to read, is complete and easily followed. This is the Navigation panel before any activity has been carried out. Configuration Settings refers to various startup options and creating backups before repairing - the same information that is available by selecting the Settings tab. Defrag Registry can take a few minutes and requires a system restart to take effect, as is the norm with a Windows System Restore and some program updates that need to read in the new registry. Start Scan opens the dialog below. |
Here we get a better appreciation of just what is scanned for correction in the registry, and this is in the very early stage of scanning. |
For users who want more control than that provided by the default settings, the Registry Scan tab allows any section within the scan to be unticked, whereas the Start Scan button on the Navigation panel immediately starts the scan on the current settings. If you intend to do a partial rather than a full scan you should read the details of each of these items in the comprehensive help directory. Details are succinct but informative, and are an excellent tutorial for gaining a good background knowledge and understanding of the registry and its functions. |
Registry Booster creates an undo file whenever it makes any changes to the registry. If you are not satisfied with the changes made, you can select from a list of backup files shown on the Restore tab on the Navigation panel. Click on the Restore button and your system will be taken back to that previous configuration. Be aware that restoring an old configuration will restore all errors within that configuration and, if you have affected changes in your registry after the file was backed up, the restore function may undo these changes. Backup files are limited to a maximum of five, so older files should be selected and then removed by clicking on the Delete button. (Obviously my too-frequent backups are made in the course of writing this review, not out of necessity.Ed) |
