First Impressions

Registry Fix has a very basic interface. It's not flashy and it's encased in the standard Windows program box. This could actually be beneficial to those with slower systems. Registry Fix is a very small program and doesn't hog system resources.

When you first open the program you're greeted with three main buttons on the left and a bunch of "sections to scan" options on the right. Not the most intuitive way to structure the program, but not horrible either.

Basic Components Registry Fix Review

The three basic options are to scan your computer and fix errors, manage backups, and tinker with the Advanced options. The advanced options include:

• Browser Helper Manager (helps disable browser plugins like toolbars)
• Startup Program Manager (allows you to disable startup programs)
• Add Remove Program Manager (lets you uninstall programs)
• Full Registry Backup Utility (makes backups of the registry and lets you restore them)

Overall Impressions Registry Fix Review

Overall we were pleased with Registry Fix. It will scan and remove errors, but that's about it. The scan itself took twice the time that Registry Easy's scan took, and reported twice as many errors. The scanning time is directly related to the programming, however the errors reported seemed to be a bit on the high side. Some registry repair utilities are a bit over-zealous in their error reporting and thus run a higher risk of removing important files.

Registry Fix is simple and easy to understand. Nothing complicated about its design or presentation. Makes backing up and restoring the registry a cinch.

Very basic on the features. Nothing unique except for the browser helper manager, which will really help out certain users who are having toolbar issues or slow internet and browsing speeds.

Registry Fix offers an email helpdesk type customer service system for its paying customers. Online help manuals were a bit spotty but adequate.
