Post subject: Reasons to Clean the Registry Archived from groups: microsoft>public>win98>gen_discussion (more info?)
There are many things that can slow down the operating system of a
computer. The cramming of the registry is only one of the most common
things of the lot. The other things that contribute to the system slow
down is spy ware and adware that is downloaded from the Internet
without the user even knowing it. These enter the registry and play
havoc. There are many programs such as ActiveX controls that download
automatically and lodge in the CLASID section of the Registry and
begin to slow down the system more and more each day. The only way out
is to clean the registry regularly with registry software cleaner.
The Role Of The Registry
So, what is this thing we constantly refer to as the system registry?
In the beginning when Windows was still in the evolvement stage
Microsoft had to incorporate a way that the operating system could
keep track of the file and user information so that the OS could
locate them easily. This was initially located in the INI folders. Now
there was no way to clean the INI folders with automatic software like
the registry Tweaknow cleaner we have today. The INI folders kept
growing and slowing down the operating system which had to be cleaned
manually unlike the registry windows cleaner available online
today....

Yeah, but they could be dumped along with the program with the knowledge
that doing so wouldn't mess up anything else.

That would be true if they all (as they should have) used their own .ini
files. But many just modified win.ini, system.ini, ...
Not that I'm advocating registry cleaners much.
