    OVERVIEW
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Your main computer operating instructions are located in a set of mysterious 
    'Registry Files'. Over time, these files can become large in size, loaded 
    with obsolete and perhaps even corrupt entries. Treat these bloated files 
    with Registry Healer to streamline them for speedy and stable performance.

    Usually, after a couple of installations/deinstallation of different 
    software products, the registry becomes full of nagging file references 
    pointing to where one day the files were, but not any more. With help 
    of Registry Healer you can heal Windows Registry. 

    Running Registry Healer regularly will keep your registry always clean 
    and correct.
    
    Registry Healer allows to:
    - find and correct invalid file and folder references in 
      Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP/2003 Registry;
    - find and delete empty registry keys;
    - find and correct invalid font entries;
    - find and delete obsolete Start Menu items;
    - find and correct invalid application paths;
    - find and correct invalid registered help files;
    - find and correct invalid shared DLLs references;
    - find and correct invalid autostart registry references;
    - find and delete unused software registry references;
    - find and correct invalid known DLLs registry references;
    - search for matches of invalid entries on user's computer;
    - open folders to which invalid registry keys refer;
    - open Windows RegEdit at invalid registry entries;
    - full registry backup before any changes;
    - backup only modified registry entries as RegEdit4 files, 
      so you are always able to restore certain registry changes;
    - save the list of found invalid entries into a text file;
    - print the list of found invalid entries;
    - run the program from the Control Panel.

    Registry Tuner

    Program for tweaking Windows (9x, NT and so on) by modifying the registry. 
    **** RegTuner version 1.6 contains about 380 registry settings! ****
    
    The program stores information about registry keys, parameters, their types 
    and commenting to them as a tree. The advantage of the program as against 
    other serving the same purpose, is that the experienced user itself can add 
    new information known by him or found on the Internet, or he/she can change 
    already existing ones, or can remove any. The program is completely 
    transparent, i.e. when you change either a key or a parameter of the registry, 
    you can see which key or parameter it is, in what registry section, and 
    also it's type and it's value before changes.
