Clean Registry

Introduction

Over time, the database that Windows and other applications use to store information (the "Registry") can begin to hold data that is no longer valid or has become obsolete. Such information can range from a reference to a file that no longer exists, to a driver that Windows is attempting to load each time you start your machine. This invalid data eventually begins to clutter your Registry, slowing Windows down and causing other possible problems.

The Clean Registry Tool in XP Tools will cleanup and streamline your Registry by finding and removing these invalid data references.
