In this guest post, James Ricketts explores how to get rid of registry problems. Learn more about James at the conclusion of this post.
The Windows Registry is a database that contains information about Windows PC configurations and settings. For example, it includes a list of hardware-software settings, user preferences, and system configuration information. Information is added and recorded in the registry whenever programs are installed or uninstalled on the computer. Generally, when you are installing software or hardware, several new entries are recorded in the computer’s registry. Similarly, when a program is uninstalled, there are always a few entries left behind in the registry.
The Vista/XP Virtual Desktop Manager is a PowerToy designed to compensate for the limitations associated with the boundaries of a single desktop. The tool is designed to support Windows Vista RTM and Windows XP SP2, but it also integrates seamlessly with Vista Service Pack 1 and on the same line with the third and final service pack for XP, which does not bring such a consistent evolution to the table in comparison with SP2. But either on Vista or on XP, the tool enables users to run virtually an infinite number of desktops, with the only limits imposed by the amount of RAM.
