How to Fix a PC Registry Without a Registry Cleaner

The registry of the computer is the area of the operating system that contains information regarding all hardware and software on the PC. Although repairing your registry is typically accomplished through the use of a dedicated registry cleaner, you can restore your registry using nothing more than the tools in your operating system. Windows takes periodic snapshots of the system registry, allowing you to revert to a prior state in the event that something goes wrong.
