I have never been one to clean the registry, nor do I
know the benefits of doing it, but I am under the
impression that it could make my computer run quicker
and better. Any Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Your computer is eXPeriencing the typical bitrot that
comes after a time of running this toy operating system.
Your best fix is to reinstall the "o/s" from scratch and
start fresh again. This will give you some time to once
again enjoy the speed your existing hardware offers you,
until you once again start to eXPerience this slowdown.
It's an endless circle designed to force Windoze users to
constantly upgrade their hardware in the hopes of having
a machine that doesn't bog down. The other solution is to
switch to a real operating system like GNU/Linux that
doesn't experience this silliness. Then you can once
again enjoy your computer, get off the upgrade bandwagon
and have a powerful, robust and secure computing
experience. Taking the second option above will also result
in
attacks by the Windoze Fanboys around here who have a
stake in the whole MickeyMouse-Hardware Manufacturers
alliance. Be prepared to hear about how they NEVER
experience any slowdowns with their Windoze systems.
They're the same people that are always purchasing the
newest and fastest latest hardware too. :-) Wonder why?

And someone who takes your advice, installs Linux, plays
with it for a few months, installs and removes several
programs like a typical Windows user, won't have several
unknown and useless config files spread all over the place?
I'm not saying this will be harmful to the Linux system. It
just uses hard drive space needlessly. It's about as
harmful as most perceived registry bloat problems.

Sometimes even worse when you consider it's the user that created
a lot of that flotilla of crap. BTDT. I won't go to Linux
simply because it does not yet have some drivers I need and I'm
not about to write my own from scratch. I probably could, but
I'm not about to go off on that tangent when MS does it all and
much more efficiently.
If one is good with Linux and a Unix language isn't required on
the job, then it's a pretty simple job to keep an MS os going,
and to hold it secure. Someday it might change, but ... after
all, it's open sourced and can't really be expected to be the be
all that MS has managed to put together.
I'm not saying any of them are good or bad; just voicing what
I see/hear/read. It's a presonal choice for the educated in that
direction, not so for most users though.

Pop
