Many errors originate in the Windows Registry. If you can not run a program anymore, missing or invalid Registry keys may be the cause. Using RegTidy, you can fix these problems, without risking any damage to your system. It will scan certain locations in your Registry and it will clean out any errors or invalid entries. Doing this regularly is a good way to prevent the system from slowing down or crashing.

The size of the installation package is a little over one Mb. Additional tools or services, such as later versions of .NET Framework, are not required. The software can be installed in a few seconds and launched immediately.

Some Registry cleaners feature many more tools than you actually need and the more they have, the more chances are that something will go wrong. RegTidy, on the other hand, only focuses on cleaning up your Registry and nothing else. There are multiple sections to access on the interface (via navigation tabs), but they are all related to the same scanning process.

The scan can be started in the first section by clicking a large button, placed on the interface's central region. Before starting the process, you may choose what Registry items to scan. Sections such as shared DLLs, startup programs, user software settings, Windows fonts and more, can be selected beneath the Start button.

While scanning, the found problems will be listed on the upper part of the interface, along with their descriptions and severity level. Errors can be fixed, redundant keys may be deleted and so on. This can be done automatically after the software is done scanning, by clicking the Repair All button in the lower right corner of the window.

The scan results can be accessed at any time in a separate section where an option for restarting the scan is available. Because you can never be too careful when working with Registry keys, RegTidy lets you create one or more backups. This requires clicking a button in the Backup & Restore section and it will take a few seconds to complete. The created backups will be displayed in a list and you can restore one of them at any time.

Pros

RegTidy's scanning process is fast. The results are detailed and they are grouped in separate categories, making it easier to find specific errors.

Cons

There are no options for selecting or deselecting all items in a list. RegTidy's fast and effective scanning features will help you fix any Registry errors, thus preventing system crashes and other unwanted events.
