Softpedia Editor's Review for RegCure
|
Dramatically improve system performance with this utility
Written by Elena Opris on November 30th, 2011
RegCure is a tool that cleans your Windows registry entries, so that your system's performance improves.
After a quick installation, you will probably notice that the features are clearly defined in the user-friendly interface. There are four major areas: Scan, Settings, Backup, Manage Startup and Results.
You can select the type of registry entries you want RegCure to scan - COM or ActiveX entries, uninstall or font entries, shared DLLs, application paths, help files information, Windows startup items, file or path references, program shortcuts, and file associations.
If you do not exactly understand these terms, you can read a detailed description on each one of them below.
A scan on all these items takes little time to finish. You can view the exact problems of each aforementioned category, but you cannot fix all issues in the trial version of RegCure - only those found in Font Entries and File Associations. The numbers of found and fixed issues can be viewed in Results.
In Backup you can restore the system to a previous state, but you cannot actually create a backup - RegCure automatically creates a restore point if this option is enabled.
In Settings you can create an ignore list only after a scan has been performed, so you can skip certain errors in following scans. Furthermore, you can schedule scans, so you do not need to guard RegCure.
The startup manager found here has very limited options. You can enable or disable processes which automatically run at system startup, or just remove them from the list.
The bottom line is that RegCure manages to detect many registry issues that are not recognized by other similar products, and it does so by using a low amount of system resources. Too bad the trial version does not allow you to clean more vital registry entries, so we cannot accurately evaluate RegCure.
