Interested in cleaning the Windows 7 registry? Then you have come to the right place.
The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database for most MS Windows operating systems that contains parameters and settings for hardware and software, presets and user profiles.
The creation of the registry in Windows was intended to organize information that was stored in many INI files at that time, as well as to provide a single mechanism for reading and writing settings.
Creating a registry made it possible to get rid of the problems of short names, lack of access rights and slow access to INI files stored in the FAT16 file system, which has performance problems when searching for files in directories with a large number of them.
All the problems that MS Windows developers solved using the registry disappeared with the release of the NTFS file system, but the registry remained in all subsequent versions of this OS.
At the moment, there are no real prerequisites for using such a mechanism, and the only system that uses the registry is MS Windows (and its clone from the free software area - ReactOS).
The registry is formed from various data. During the installation and subsequent configuration of Windows, files are generated that store information about the system configuration.
In the process of loading the operating system, as well as logging in and out of its users, a certain abstract, virtual entity is formed, called the "registry".
Thus, one part is static and stored in files, while the other is dynamic and is formed during the OS boot process.
Disadvantages of the MS Windows Registry
The method of storing operating system settings using the registry has a number of significant drawbacks. Below we list the most important ones.
Relatively low fault tolerance. One wrong byte in a hive file (a registry branch similar in essence to the root directory in file systems) when trying to load it causes the OS to crash.
This problem in modern versions of MS Windows is solved using two-level logging, and in case a situation arises when the registry cannot be restored, the system can reinitialize damaged registry entries during boot.
Selectivity when saving system settings to the registry means that not all system settings are entered into the registry. Due to this approach, transferring system settings by copying its registry is not possible.
During the functioning of the operating system, the registry is fragmented, which leads to a gradual slowdown in access speed.
In addition to settings, other system and application information is stored in the registry, which leads to a gradual increase in the size of the registry. This problem can be partially solved with the help of special utilities, which we will discuss in the next part of our article. By the way, in our material you can read about the five best free programs for fixing Windows 7 errors.
Cleaning the MS Windows 7 registry manually
There are 2 ways to clean the system registry - manual and software cleaning.
Important! When cleaning the registry manually, you should immediately make a reservation that this operation should be performed by experienced users with the due degree of attention, because. any of the mistakes made can damage the operating system.
We will talk about programmatic cleaning of the registry in the corresponding section.
For manual cleaning you need:
Press the key combinations Win + R. In the window that opens, enter the command to call the system utility for working with the registry - “regedit”. Click "OK".
We perform a backup of the registry, which will later mark all the changes made.
Click File - Export. In the export range selection section, select the entire registry, then select a location to save the backup copy, enter its name and click the "Save" button.
We proceed to the direct removal of information about programs , which have been removed. To do this, go to the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" section (which is located on the left side of the registry editor window), open the "Software" subsection and look for the name of the software developer's company or directly the name of the program that was removed.
To delete, select the entry by clicking on it with the mouse and press the "Del" key on the keyboard.
You can also search for the program automatically using the search function. To do this, press the key combination Ctrl + F and in the window that opens, enter the name of the program and click "OK", after which all found entries will be highlighted.
If the highlighted entry found is correct, i.e. belongs to the remote program, you should press the Del key on the keyboard, to go to the next entry, press F3.
After deleting unnecessary entries, close the registry editor.

Good day, blog readers.
A computer is a complex device that can experience problems from time to time. Often such errors are logged into the system area and even affect it. To return the operating system to its previous state, a special Windows 7 registry repair program is provided, or rather, there are many of them. They allow you to quickly return everything to its place.
The system registry in Windows 10, like in other versions of the OS from Microsoft, is a database that contains information about hardware, boot options, accounts, and much more. This area is divided into groups.
Important! It is worth remembering that without this partition, the operating system simply cannot exist.
This area is one of the most important. At the same time, it is completely open to users. It turns out that any user with administrator rights can make changes.
In addition, it is worth remembering that any software installed on the device writes various data to this partition, as well as reads them.
The last two also leave their marks in the system area, allowing themselves to work in almost any environment. All this in the future will provide an opportunity to steal important information and disrupt performance.
To provide protection, several mechanisms are provided:
Create a restore point where all settings are saved.
Restoring from a backup of a running system.
( )
There are many applications for working with system data. At the same time, the Regedit utility is provided for this in the OS itself. It allows you to do whatever you want with this area. To create a backup, you need to follow a few steps:
After that, a file will appear that will allow you to return the computer to working capacity as soon as possible. This method has proven to be excellent. True, it will be useful only when users can get into the OS.
ERUNT( )
What to do if the shell refuses to load, say after a virus or other serious failure? To do this, you can use special applications. And one of the most convenient is considered ERUNT.
Compared to the built-in capabilities, the program makes it possible to work with the registry, regardless of whether the operating system is loaded or not. True, for this you need to install the program in advance on the hard drive. In addition, the procedure will not work without a backup, which means it should already be there.
To create a recovery base, you need to perform a number of actions:
The process will take some time - it all depends on the amount of data stored on the hard drive.
Recovery from the environment( )
If suddenly the system stops loading, users always have the opportunity to use special tools - ERDNT. This is done without a disk, although everything will take place not in the graphical interface, but in the command console.
So, we need to manually perform a series of movements:
For a visual example, you can watch the video
Malicious programs, improper installation/uninstallation of applications, illiterate editing of the registry, and more lead to critical errors and crashes in the Windows 7, 8, 10, and XP operating systems. But even if the user knows which "jamb" led to the error, he will not always be able to fix it on his own.
Correcting system errors in this case must be entrusted to third-party utilities and programs. We have selected the five most famous and effective programs that will help you fix operating system errors.

Main advantage Recovery Toolbox for Registry is a specialized tool for recovering information from damaged Windows system registry files. Its powerful algorithm achieves high recovery efficiency as well as unsurpassed scanning and data extraction speed. The program can be used in two modes - automatic and advanced (manual). The first mode minimizes user intervention in the recovery process and allows you to restore data with just a couple of mouse clicks - you only need to select a drive, and the program will instantly find the registry files on it. The second mode allows you to view the structure of the damaged file, view its individual elements and their parameters, and then save the data to the final file. Recovery Toolbox for Registry works very fast, so you don't have to spend hours watching the progress bar change - in most cases, the program takes less than a minute to analyze a medium-sized registry file.
The interface of the program is very simple and intuitive. This is a step-by-step wizard that combines ease of use, efficiency and accessibility for different categories of users, from beginners to professionals. A typical recovery scenario consists of a few simple steps. No matter which scenario you choose, just follow the instructions for each step and the program will take care of the rest. The first step of the wizard is to specify the name and location of the file you want to recover. In advanced (manual) mode, this can be done in one of several ways. To select a file, enter its full path and name in the field located in the center of the program window, or use the standard file open dialog. You can also select one of the previously used files from the drop-down list that opens by clicking on the triangle button on the right side of the input field. After entering the file name, use the Next button at the bottom of the program window. After you confirm your intention to continue, the program will start analyzing the file structure - you will see the names of the nodes and keys currently being processed at the bottom of the screen. The duration of this stage depends only on the size of the file being processed and the speed of your computer.
After completing this process, you will see the tree structure of the file and the elements that the program was able to identify. To view low-level information about the current item, check the Show service information option. This is the last step in the recovery process. If you click on the Save button, a standard save dialog will open, where you can specify the name and path of the final file. The data recovery process is similar to the analysis process described above and may take some time. After completing all operations, Recovery Toolbox for Registry will show brief statistics on the current recovery attempt - the number of keys and parameters recovered.
Since its introduction in Windows 3.1 many years ago, the registry has played an increasingly important role in each subsequent version of this operating system. The practice of storing system and program settings in a multitude of INI, CFG and other configuration files has become an anachronism - today 99% of all operating system settings are stored in the system registry. The registry is a central hierarchical database used by the OS as a repository for low-level system settings related to device drivers, the system kernel, Windows services, user interface, and system policies. In addition, applications also use the registry to store their data. All this makes the registry an important part of the operating system and at the same time one of its most vulnerable places. A virus attack, hardware failure, power surge, software failure, and user experimentation with system utilities can corrupt the registry file, and this can have very serious and far-reaching consequences. Some programs may not start or work correctly, some devices may not be recognized, and your operating system may refuse to boot at all! It is quite obvious that each of us will try to avoid such a situation at all costs, but if you have already encountered the problem of a corrupted registry file or want to be ready to face this problem head-on, Recovery Toolbox for Registry will help you! The program is extremely easy to use and you can always rely on it in difficult situations where your work depends on a corrupted registry file at the heart of your system. This compact tool will give you the confidence to be prepared for any force majeure and restore your system in the blink of an eye!
Requirements:
