Windows 2000 Registry Repair

Windows 2000 is an operating system that changed the level (improvised) of Microsoft Operating Systems. But no OS can be perfect, and as such Windows 2000 still can have problems within the registry. However, performing a Windows 2000 registry repair doesn’t have to be intimidating to the novice computer users.

There are different ways of doing a Windows 2000 registry repair: manually and the fully automated way. If you are an experienced user and the problem is not a very serious one, you can go for the manual way by launching the registry editor with the ‘regedit’ command. With the registry editor, you can edit entries by changing the registry.

However, this is not recommended for beginners and intermediate users, as modifying some critical registry entries can cause the system to crash. The option best suited for non-expert computer users is to go for the automated way. This method uses a registry cleaning software for modifying the bad entries. These applications will also have a start up manager utility, which allow users to change the default programs to run during start up, which can help boost start-up times.

The start up organising mechanism is found in almost all good registry cleaners. You can find that there are many free and paid versions available. In most cases, you may need only a freeware program for fixing the registry errors (ie, for registry repair). An example of a free registry cleaner is CCleaner.

However, you’ll find that free registry cleaners are often basic applications that don’t have the power, ability, or technical support of commercially available registry cleaners.

TIP - If the registry cleaner (free or commercial version) finds some errors and stops running or freezes, you can try cleaning your system with a powerful anti-virus program before running the registry cleaning application again. The cause of this can be that there is some malicious software on the system which can prevent the registry cleaner from performing its actions. Hence an anti-virus is required for fixing the errors. I recommend getting the free version of AVG Anti-Virus.

Regularly maintaining your registry can be a preventative measure to keeping your system running in pristine condition. You won’t be faced with slow boot-up times, malicious software running in the background, or system crashes.

One of the huge benefits of commercially available registry cleaners versus free versions, is that the commercial versions have the ability to automate your registry maintenance.

This means you can set these programs to run on a regular basis, as well as monitor any changes to your registry in real-time – which prevents the corruption of the registry in the first place. If you want to not have to worry about ever doing a Windows 2000 registry repair, do yourself a favour and pick up a commercial registry cleaner. Your computer will thank you for it...
