   Windows registry is a hierarchical database containing settings and configuration for the operating system, user profiles, document types, system hardware, programs and so much more. It is considered as the central repository for all configurations on your computer. In an ideal world, the registry will work perfectly whenever you make changes to the Windows registry like after uninstalling programs. However, this is not the reality and registry errors happen and uninstall routines will always leave unwanted registry entries. In time, all these errors and invalid registry entries will add up causing a lot of time wasted in reading information in the registry that does not reference to any programs. This is the reason why cleaning registry is very important to keep computers running smooth.Here is how to speed up http://perfect-your-computer.com your Windows computer using registry cleaners

   When my laptop became really slow, what I did was have a system restore, it deletes everything on your computer and the computer will be like you just bought it. You can just save all the stuff you need on a CD.
   Hope this helped.

   As you can see, most of the answers involve downloading something. The Microsoft tips I linked to below however is not a download, but tips for speeding up your system. The downloads are just cleaners that will take the years of accumulated trash out.

   There is a drive cleaner that I use
   http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_d4191.html
   read about it, watch the video
   it cleans your hard drive and your registry

   You can clean the other stuff with this one
   download, install, update and run

   They are both free and safe
