The registry can be considered the most important part of the Windows operating system. That's because all the file references, drivers, settings and other related information are all stored into it. That's why it's important to maintain the registry in optimum working conditions, because every problem related to it may have an effect over the overall stability and performance of the operating system. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't include a tool for cleaning and fixing the registry, so the only thing left to do is to install a 3rd party application for scanning the registry. Even though there are numerous registry applications on the market, most of them are difficult to use and they are not so efficient.

ScanMyReg is different from all of them, allowing you to efficiently scan the registry and fix any problem related to it. The application is not difficult to install and features a simple graphical interface. When running the program, the user will surely notice the presence of three large graphical buttons. The first button allows scanning the registry. At the end of the scanning process, which looks in every area of the registry, the user will be able to fix all found problems or only some of them.

The second button included in the interface allows defragmenting the registry, for improving system performance. Just like a hard disk gets fragmented from time to time and requires more time to have its files accessed, the same goes for the Windows registry. Defragmenting it will have a great influence over the overall performance of the computer.

The third and last button of the interface can back up the registry, including all its keys. This feature is useful in case the user removes certain important keys by accident and would like to restore them to their original state.

By accessing the program's options tab, the user can change the skin of the interface, by choosing one from the many available and can also define an exclusion list, which avoids scanning certain areas of the registry, for example, the ones which include important system settings.

Pros

It features a graphical interface which is very easy to use. Besides that, it can clean and fix any registry problem and can even defragment the registry, for improving system speed. Furthermore, it can create a complete registry backup.

Cons

The demo version can scan for registry problems but cannot fix them. ScanMyReg allows you to scan and fix all your registry problems, for increasing the overall stability and performance of your computer.
