Defining a PC registry
A PC Windows Registry is an uncountable batch of files containing information about almost everything that occurs on the computer, starting from programs installations to web visits to driver information and some more other essential programs, like DLLs e.t.c. Windows registry also serves as a small helper program that allows some other programs installed on the PC to run perfectly, in short it’s the blueprint of all that goes on your computer. A registry may contain hundreds or thousands of entries, and mostly new entries are created all the time. As it fills up with information, the registry may cause a computer’s performance to be altered. One problem is that Windows never removes registry entries, even if a program has been un-installed, as most un-installers aren’t able to effectively remove their own registry keys. And as files are moved around and programs are uninstalled, some registry keys point to programs or files that no longer exist or are located elsewhere.
