Windows registry recovery can be a real pain for computer users of all experience levels. The registry stores all kinds of information in a special database that has information about how your Windows is set up and how your applications are configured. The registry can be screwed up badly by someone messing around with it if they don't know what they are doing. If you are going to mess with it, follow these 3 easy steps to Windows registry recovery to make the whole process easier.

The first step you should take is to backup your registry. Each type of Windows has a different way to do this. It might be in your control panel or you may need to use the RUN feature. Check the help section of your current Windows program and it will tell you everything you need to backup your registry.

The second step you should take is to try to restore your registry to an earlier time. Many computers will allow you to restore to a time period in the past couple of months. You should first restore it to a couple of days before your problems started and see if that helps. If not, go back farther.

The third step is to install a registry cleaner. These programs are all over the Internet and you should definitely read up on them before installing and agreeing to their terms. They can be full of spyware and adware so read up on a few reviews.

This should solve 90 percent of peoples problems. If everything is still messed up, you should consider a full system restore to take your computer back to factory settings. You will lose all of your information but sometimes it's the only way.
