A Solid Choice in the Field of Registry Application

Dirk Swanson

This Registry-optimization tool presents itself as a solid choice in a large field of competing products.

Free Professional Registry Doctor's attractive, Mac-style interface is a pleasure to use, with clearly labeled icons for performing all functions. The application detects your Registry for a number of invalid keys, including ActiveX controls, fonts, and uninstallers. and also fixes broken Registry keys and backs up the Registry so it can roll back changes if something goes wrong.

Clicking on the name of each category will let you drill down into a list, where you can choose to include or exclude certain file types. Similar to all good Registry cleaners, this one offers a tool for creating an archive of your Registry, useful in case the application accidentally removes a crucial key. In addition, Free Professional Registry Doctor manages browser helper objects and programs that launch on PC start-up. In our tests, the app demonstrated reliable and speedy performance, making it possible for us to recommend it to users who suspect their Registry is full of junk files.
