Welcome to part 3 of our series on cleaning your registry to increase computer speed. For parts 1 & 2 of this series, see these previous posts:

In part 2, we covered using Registry Easy. Here is an alternative to using Registry Easy, this program is called RegDefense – it can be downloaded by clicking here. It’s always nice to have more than one of the same tool, whether it be antivirus, antispyware, or registry cleaners. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses and they all scan things differently and can find different results when scanning.

Here is a video showing how to use RegDefense and also how to use the Disk Cleanup tool in Windows XP.

As you can see, using RegDefense is just as simple as using Registry Easy. With free trials of both software available, you can test them out and see which one has the features you like better or provides you with the best results. Download links: RegDefense & Registry Easy.

Also mentioned in the video was Disk Cleanup, which is an excellent free tool that is built into Windows XP. To run Disk Cleanup, just click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. If you have more than one hard drive, Disk Cleanup will ask you which one you want to scan. Normally, you would want to choose your primary hard drive, in most cases it would be the (C:) option.

Disk Cleanup then takes a few seconds or a few minutes to determine how much space can be freed up and then you will be presented with a screen that shows you the different options you can take. Check off the boxes for the actions you want Disk Cleanup to perform, then click OK to free up the amount of space that is shown. Freeing up disk space can help to increase computer speed & performance of the programs installed on your PC. So if your computer begins to run slowly again in the future, remember to run Disk Cleanup as part of your maintenance in addition to using software such as registry cleaners, antivirus scanners, antispyware/antimalware scanners to keep your PC running fast.
