   Hello,

   They sort out errors in the registry and normally remove them as there not needed, eg… Junk.

   The "keys" they clean are actually settings for your PC & software. Have you ever wondered how your computer remembers things like your Internet favorites and your desktop wallpaper? Windows keeps all the settings it needs to remember inside the registry database, making it one of the most important & frequently used parts of your system.

   Unfortunately, the registry is constantly being damaged & corrupted, leading your computer to run extremely unreliably and ineffectively as it cannot open the files it needs to run. Registry cleaners have been created to fix these errors, and work by scanning through the registry of your system and repairing any of the damage that’s inside there.

   In order to get the most out of using a registry cleaner, you need to be able to use a tool that’s going to fix the most errors on your PC in the most reliable way. And unfortunately, CCleaner does not do that. The best tool I’ve used is one called "Frontline Registry Cleaner", which is able to scan through your system and fix the most registry errors & junk files.

   They look for obsolete information, things like references to files or locations that are no longer on your computer. Then they will call it an "error" or "invalid this or that" to make it sound like they are fixing something. They do not scan your entire registry, even though they might say they do. They can help in cleaning up stuff that programs leave behind when they are uninstalled. If you install and uninstall a lot there’s going to lots of useless information in the registry. Who knows if cleaning some of it out really does anything.

   They clean things like Internet Explorer & Firefox history, temp internet files and cookies which frees up space and can improve performance.
   My favorite registry cleaner is CCleaner

   If you don’t have an understanding of how the registry works, best not to use any registry cleaners, as they can do more harm then good if you don’t know what it’s doing. The registry is basicly how the computer functions, if something gets messed up in the registry your computer will get errors, blue screen errors and not work correctly.

   Keys which point to file extensions which are not used (empty) for example, keys which point to files and locations which do not exist, et cetera.

   registry cleaners simply search for shortcut to files that no longer exist, due to the app or file being deleted, you’d be surprised how many of these there are.

   make sure you use a reputable registry cleaner and always make a backup first
