The computer registry is the operating system's main database. The registry contains property settings, user profiles, and hardware information. As Windows runs, the operating system refers to the information stored in the registry.

A few mistakes entering registry information and you can cause some serious damage to your computer. Even regular use slowly fills a registry with outdated settings that can affect performance. A PC doctor can fix these inevitable computer errors.
