Getting started

Registry First Aid is designed like a wizard. It guides you through the entire process of fixing invalid registry entries.

The first wizard page allows you to select the following actions:

• check the registry for errors;
• compress registry;
• create full registry backups;
• restore from a full registry backup;
• restore from .reg backups files;
• search the registry for strings;
• manage registry;
• create/compare registry snapshots;

Also, there's a configuration page under the Advanced settings button. The following options can be configured:

• program appearance;
• list of excluded strings;
• registry keys excluded from the registry scan;
• paths to search for registry corrections;
• paths to exclude from searching for corrections;
• list view colors;
• RFA agent settings and schedule registry scans.

Note for machines with multiple Operating Systems (OS) installed.

Checking the registry for errors has three steps:

• Selecting error categories to scan for;
• Verifying found invalid entries and corrections;
• Fixing the registry.
