Cleaning Windows Registry

Registry is a system defined database used by an operating system to store all the required information to configure the windows setting for one or more users, other applications and hardware devices. Information present in the registry includes user profiles, applications installed on the computer, settings for each application folder and icon, existing hardware in the system, and all the ports that are being used. 

Importance of Registry Cleaning

Users don't usually give much importance to the number and frequency of the software they install. As a result of this careless software installation, the registry gets mucked up. This gives rise to consequences such as slower system performance or even a system crash. Improper uninstall of software is also one of the reasons for problems relating to registry. Hence it is always necessary to delete or uninstall applications and software from the Add or Remove Programs feature in control panel. Manually deleting programs without using this feature might mistakenly move away the registry key in the OS or leave behind the orphaned registry key. This will cause the problem of missing/ invalid registry entries. Because of such reasons, cleaning Windows registry is a crucial action that needs to be implemented regularly. Doing it timely will save the user from bearing the loss of important data 

You Cannot Delete the Registry by Yourself


When you attempt to erase the registry by your own, the risk that you may remove the valid registry is high because without a software, it is not easy to determine which registry belongs to which application. This may cause the system to crash or software to malfunction. Therefore, you need a specialized software for cleaning the registry.

5 Free Windows Registry Cleaners

You can either purchase a registry cleaner software or you can download one for free from the internet. These are few of the free cleaners available online:


If the software is run regularly, you will save a lot of disk space for your PC. The system will run smoothly and efficiently.

New Launch: Asus Transformer AiO Review.

Ever since Windows 8 was announced and released, we have witnessed the invention of many new devices to oblige the new generation operating system. We have seen new age tablets, smart devices and even hybrids. But if you think those devices are all cool and breakthrough, then you will be amazed to know that there is a new species of devices in town; the Asus Transformer AiO P1801. 

Of all the devices we have seen so far, this is the strangest of them all; a hybrid tablet and desktop with two separate processors. And that's not it: each of those processors runs a separate operating system, one Windows 8 and the other Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Confused? You must be wondering 'how's that even possible?' Well, that is what we are about to find out. 

Design

TechRadar reviewed the gadget recently. The Transformer AiO's base unit packs a third-gen Intel i5 or i7 processor, and is the part which runs Windows 8. The screen is removable and acts as a tablet when it's not on the base. The tablet part has its own Nvidia Tegra 3 and runs Android Jelly Bean. Which means, the removable tablet portion and the base portion both have their own separate processors and operating systems. The Intel-powered base unit can stream Windows 8 over Wi-Fi to the tablet. So the tablet can really do either.Each portion has its own storage, as well; the tablet has 8GB of eMMC while the base unit packs between 500GB and 2TB of hard drive space.

Tablet Specs

The tablet features up to 8GB of RAM and a graphics chip using 1GB of virtual memory. So the tablet can run on Android separate from the base, while the base when left alone does nothing by itself - the tablet has to be placed on the base or connected via Wi-Fi to take advantage of the base's Intel chip and switch from Android to Windows 8 mode.The AiO tablet alone is quite big; it has an 18.4-inch 10-point multi-touch screen and weighs 2.5kg. The screen offers 16:9 1080p IPS display.   
                           

Base Specs

The base has a DVD drive, four USB ports, an MMC/SD/SDHC card slot, and more. The tablet itself carries its own set of connectors, including a card slot and mini-USB. The wireless Asus keyboard and mouse are included.

We normally feel content with only one OS at a time but in this case, you get  two. This incredibly distinct device defines the computing experience in a whole new way. For some, this might come as a replacement for a home desktop PC. Others looking for portability, this device may seem to be inconvenient because of its large size.

Feel free to drop in your opinions and thoughts on this device in the comments section below and let other know about this blog.
