CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This registry cleaner does its main job quickly and accurately, but we also appreciate a few of its extra features. True to its name, the utility scans your PC's registry, then fixes any errors it finds.
The app's main interface is easy to grasp at first sight, letting you check and uncheck boxes when deciding which portions of the Registry to scan. For instance, the program looks for such entries as obsolete software, invalid fonts, bad shortcuts, and even spyware. It's also nice that Registry Repair offers a brief explanation of why each key is no longer necessary, but it still automatically backs up the Registry before you remove anything.
In addition to its main job, the application also can manage which programs launch on start-up. You'll also find a disk-cleanup utility and an uninstaller; these features are not remarkably different from Windows' built-in tools, but it's still nice to be able to access them from the app's main window. Everyday users who want to keep their computers free of junk will find Registry Repair a very helpful download.

Version: Glarysoft Registry Repair 2.5
"It's Really Good, But You Need To Check It Before You Do Repairs"
Pros: This software picked up about one hundred simple registry path errors that my purchased Registry Mechanic completely missed. For any obvious correctable registry path errors that were found, the ability to open the Windows Registry Editor within Registry Repair to that specific registry entry for editing was invaluable. Rather than deleting such a registry entry it was far more preferable to correct the registry error and de-select the corrected registry entry from deletion.
Cons: It flagged about ten entries that were not errors as errors, or false positives. Those ten entries were flagged for not being valid Windows paths. Unfortunately, some programmers use customized registry entries which include a valid windows path but also include other delimited information which causes Registry Repair to diagnose a corrupted file path problem and advise removal of the registry entry. Had I blindly agreed to "fix all errors," I would have more than likely have had to undo all my "fixes." Also, Registry Repair advocates deleting all registry entries that contain an invalid path error. I was able to use Regedit in about fifty cases to correct the obvious registry path error and then uncheck that particular Registry Repair deletion to ignore the error in the future.
