System Requirements for Registry Mechanic
Registry Mechanic is a computer program designed by PC Tools Software that is used to clean a computer's registry. The registry is a collection of files and other data necessary for a Windows-based computer to run programs and is often referred to as a computer's "nervous system." When the registry is clogged with unnecessary information, a computer can run slower. Registry Mechanic is a good way to fix this problem, providing that the computer needing cleaning meets the program's system requirements.
