   I took this from the following website – http://www.registry-cleaners-2009.com/

   The almighty complex registry is an integral part of your Windows operating system.  It is a directory that stores all computer settings and options – including all hardware and software configuration information.  With time and normal operation, your registry may become cluttered, corrupted, or damaged.  Your computer may start running slow or sluggish.  You may start experiencing blue screens, system crashes, slow Internet speeds, and a broad range of Windows error messages.  If your computer is experiencing symptoms similar to the ones mentioned above, it may be time you scanned and cleaned your Windows registry. 
     
   Registry cleaners scan, clean, and rid your Windows registry of corrupted, damaged, unwanted items, as well as redundant information.  The result of a scanned, cleaned, registry are improved computer performance and less headache.  However, selecting the right registry cleaner can be a difficult task.  A good registry cleaner should be easy to use, have a nice presentation, and come with quality features.  Lets not forget that error detection is critical!

   The registry is basically how windows runs. DO NOT alter the registry. Registry cleaners claim to improve system performance and "clean" your registry of junk registry entries. Use at your own risk, i doubt it will speed your computer up but could get rid of some junk files you may have accidentally installed or no longer want. If your worried about system performance try a disk defrag like Auslogics Disk Defrag, it's free to download and is a good little program and is fast
