Why Your Computer’s Registry Is Like Your Grocery Cabinets

Really. There he was sitting right in front of the computer thinking “wow, I really need to get my registry in order.” I know what you’re thinking, geek, right? Well, you’re actually right! I know that the registry on my computer is important. I know it needs to be kept clean, orderly, and mostly free from unauthorized entry. Now for most of you, geeks or not, you know that keeping your computer in some sort of order is like keeping all the groceries in your cupboards in order. A strange analogy, right? Wrong!

Think of it this way; If food is facing the right way, has labels on it, isn’t expired, and is within easy reach, you’ll be able to work in the kitchen in a more orderly manner. Being able to work more efficiently. Well, making sure your registry stays in order is pretty much the same thing, just not as tasty.

So I digress. There I was sitting in front of my computer and just couldn’t be bothered to hit the scan option on my registry scanner. Why? I don’t know. Pure laziness is the only answer. I’ve been using the scanner for years and only this time I didn’t hit the scan option, with auto scan also disabled, I learned my lesson.

You know when you install something from the wonderful WWW and it asks if you’d like to install a wonderful search engine too? I always click the ‘no’ option. But this time I didn’t, I completely messed up my computer’s registry. The computer started to work slowly. He began to punish me for my incompetence. Seriously, I had no choice but to reinstall Windows since I couldn’t even access my scanning software. Trust me, I’m pretty computer savvy, but this time even I couldn’t solve the problem.

Don’t get me wrong, luckily he hadn’t lost much work, but he almost failed. All for the sake of scanning the registry on a regular basis.

The good news is that now my computers work fine, I don’t have a headache or my pride. The main thing I did was set auto scan and scheduled scan. Sometimes you don’t even know what’s lurking on your computer and the registry is an important part of your computer’s well-being. So please. Don’t be as lazy as me. Most of the software out there is even free, so there’s really no excuse now, right?
