The Windows registry is a database that stores the preferences and settings of applications on your PC. Over time, the Windows Registry can begin to contain information that’s no longer valid. Maybe you uninstalled an application without using the Add or Remove Programs function in the Control Panel, or perhaps an object or file in the registry got moved. Eventually, this orphaned or misplaced information accumulates and begins to clog your registry, potentially slowing down your PC and causing error messages and system crashes. You might also notice that your PC’s startup process is slower than it used to be. Cleaning your registry is the easiest way to help avoid these common problems.
Privacy Eraser cleans up your registry in an easy and safe way. Registry entries are examined and validated with integrity checks for consistencies, improving your PC's performance and speeding up Windows startup time.
Backup/Restore
Number of backups to keep
Specify how many automatic backups to keep. When this limit is reached, the oldest backup will be overwritten with the current backup.
Backup folder
Choose a location where to save the registry backups.
Restore
Select a backup from the automatic backup list and click Restore button to undo registry changes made by Privacy Eraser. This restores the registry entries that were removed.
Privacy Eraser creates a backup file in the following format:
Regbackup_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.reg
In this example, yyyymmdd/hhmmss is the date/time that Privacy Eraser made the registry changes.
