Keeping the system registry free of empty, invalid or broken entries is one of the basic steps in computer maintenance. Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is one of those tools that can help you do that. This simple utility offers a straightforward approach to registry cleanup and maintenance, which makes it suitable for all types of users.
Installation & Requirements
Eusing Free Registry Cleaner installs quickly with no special settings to perform. The program runs on Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7 and 8.
The program is donationware, meaning it’s free to use, but donations are accepted to support its development. At first run, a window pops-up offering users the possibility of donating money and support the developer’s efforts of improving the program.
Interface
Eusing Free Registry Cleaner has a modest interface in terms of design. However, the layout is practical since its nicely divided into three different areas: one for tasks (registry scan, repair and restore options), one for registry sections (all of them can be selected/deselected for scan) and the main area where you’ll see scan results and other information.
The basic task collection will be sufficient for most users: the scan process can take a couple of minutes (depending on how many areas of the registry you have selected). Once it’s complete the main window will list all the found problems. Users have the option of deselecting any listed issue and skip it for the repair process. Nevertheless, the found errors are not organized by categories so if the scan found a lot of them, it won’t be easy to refine the repair.
As soon as you’re satisfied with your selection of found errors you can use the “Repair registry issues” option. Just in case something goes wrong, Eusing Free Registry Cleaner offers a “Restore previous registry” option.
In the File menu, you can also perform full registry and system backups as well as access the Startup Manager. Despite the simplicity of this free registry cleaner, it has all the features needed to do its job and it supports many different languages.
