The last 5 years have seen a flood of registry repair tools to the market. This article looks at the latest version of Registry Booster, one of the products that has retained its huge customer base in spite of the competition.
Ease of Use
The selling point for this took has always been its ease of use. The Registry Booster download is now a manageable 3.5 MB (down on the previous bulky version) and Windows 7 support has been added (one of the few registry cleaners that does support it).
The user interface is deceptively simple. In reality, with registry cleaners you only wish to scan and repair faults and leave the complexity to the application. The software runs a free scan and reports back the fault report. The new report format has severity levels for each issue found. At the very least this gives you the option of not buying a license to complete the repairs if they are only minor.
Bonus Features
All these types of tools normally try to compete on the bonus features they provide. Registry Booster doesn't try to do this. It knows that it can effectively repair faults so the one standout feature it provides on this release is a registry back function which runs before each repair. If anything goes wrong then you simply restore the old version. And if faults occur at a later stage (for example, due to a virus) then the registry editions can be used to roll back to.
Pointless Features
The one standout point that made no sense in the product is the registry defragmentation. We can understand why disk defragmentation is needed (it speeds up data access and general processing) but defragmenting a system file does not make any sense.
In Conclusion
Registry Booster is a safe bet by all accounts. The massive user base is a sure sign it works, and works well. While other tools like the Reimage PC Repair service can fix a broader range of faults, the coders behind Registry Booster have focused solely on the repair and optimization of the Windows registry.
