Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This easy-to-use tool lets you remove faulty Registry entries that slow down your computer, but the unreasonable trial period won't appeal to most users. Registry Booster presents an aesthetically pleasing interface with four sections--System Overview, Registry Scan, Settings, and Restore--organized in tabs. Among other things, the program scans for invalid ActiveX controls, file extensions, application paths, and file associations. You can minimize it to your system tray and perform error scanning in the background. Before you can proceed in removing entries, the program prompts you to back up your Registry. The scan was quick and errors were displayed for review with check boxes to indicate removal, but the trial version is limited to 15 repairs. Also included is a Registry Defragmenter to remove gaps left by the repair, although this feature also disabled in the demo. Though the trial limitation is on the stingy side, this program worked quickly and is easy enough for anyone to use.Publisher's description

Version: Registry Booster 2.1.1216.5631
"It works safely in most cases"
Pros: It has worked fine for years for me.
Cons: There was only one program that didn't work after using Registry Booster except if it was open when I started Registry Booster. Nevertheless, every time I forgot to open it before, restoring the old registry solved the problem.

Version: Registry Booster 2.1.1216.5631
"Great Product - this was a point release update for me."
Pros: Reasonable price - very stable. Its fixed my registry on a number of occations and never done any harm.
Cons: I thought that I had downloaded 2.1.1216 and installed it over 2.0.1178 - but it still shows shows 2.0.1178. Could Uniblue have forgotten to update the version # in "About"?
Summary: Great product - but I have found that there are registry entries, specifically around Paths and Empty Entries that it does not repair. However, there are problems that Registry Booster fixes that other tools do not. I now rely on several registry ... read more >>
