The Registry Fix Review

Registry Fix may not be as well known as RegCure or Registry mechanic, it is though still extremely popular amongst users of Windows registry cleaners, as such it is definitely worthy of a Registry Fix review and comparison with RegCure.


The Registry Fix Details

  • Software Designer – Registry Fix doesn’t appear to have been designed by any of the well known software development firms. It is available as a download from www.registryfix.com but there doesn’t appear to have been any further programs designed by the same company. Whilst not necessarily a bad sign, it does offer less comfort than knowing it comes from a well known developer.
  • Compatibility – Registry Fix works will all versions of the Windows operating system, although there is no guarantee provided of compatibility with Windows Vista.
  • Features and Functions – Registry Fix comes with a number of additional features –
    • Back-up and Restore – easy back-up feature that allows the Windows registry to be copied before a repair is undertaken.
    • Add and Remove Programs – an inbuilt manager allows programs to be added and deleted as required. This appears to be surplus to requirements though, as Windows itself also has same feature.
    • Start-up Manager – this feature allows a user to choose which programs are loaded during the boot-up process, this can greatly improve the speed of a machine.
    • Browser manager – A useful feature that allows plug-ins and toolbars to be disabled, speeding up browsing experience.


The Test Results

The first step was to install Registry fix from the internet, the only source being the official website. This required the download of a small installation file, a process that was simple and fast.

Once installed, Registry Fix opens in a simple window. This window doesn’t appear as professional as other Windows registry cleaners but appearances alone do not make a good program. A complex and professional interface may only serve to slow down a computer, so basic could be a good thing.

Using the simple interface the undertaking of a registry scan was fairly straight forward. The scan itself was fairly quick and appeared quite comprehensive. The results of the scan though did look somewhat alarming, as it reported fair more errors than we would have expected from RegCure or Registry Mechanic. Looking in detail at the errors made us think that Registry Fix was reporting entries that were not necessarily errors, deleting them may have caused some serious computer issues.

There are few additional features or functions that come with Registry Fix. We would have liked to have seen a system monitor or compactor, although in truth these are not vital aspects of a good registry cleaner. In essence it scans, identifies and fixes which is what we want from a registry repair program. We did though like the Browser Helper manager that does speed up internet browsing, and the presence of the back-up feature is also a comfort.


Overall Impressions

Registry Fix is a good registry repair program, and does a good job of scanning and repairing. It is a decent Windows registry cleaner as shown by our Registry Fix review although compared with RegCure from ParetoLogic it is a poor second choice.
