Over time, the Windows Registry can begin to contain information that's no longer valid. Eventually this
orphaned or misplaced information accumulates and begins to clog your registry, potentially slowing down your
PC and causing error messages and system crashes.

RegInOut Help - How RegInOut Works
Let's find out more about RegInOut
User interface is simplified but very well configured and easy to use, Please review the main screen's screen shot below.
- Main screen
- Scan in progress
- Scan Complete
- Summary Screen
- Backup/Restore Screen
- Startup Manager
- Options Screen
Main screen
On the main scan screen it gives user the option to make custom selection of different error categories to
scan. Navigation to other functions of the software is on the left side. RegInOut remembers the user settings
for custom scan.
Along with scanning many different registry errors it also scans for invalid "Program Shortcuts", this does not
helps in increasing PC performance but can be useful as invalid shortcuts create mess on desktop and other
folders.
The "Start Scan" button let you to perform a scan for selected categories.
Scan in progress
When you come to the scanning scree after pressing "Start Scan" button RegInOut use animations and icons
very nicely to show overall scan progress which makes it easy to understand. The category which is currently
under scan is represented with an animated image.
The category on which scan is complete is either represented
by a green tick if it has no errors or a red cross which means there are corrupt entries in that error
category. Along with displaying the number of errors found in a category RegInOut sums up total number of
errors found and display it on top right side of the scanning screen.
You can also choose to cancel the scan at any time on the scanning screen.
Scan Complete
Once the scan is completed and user presses the next button RegInOut displays a screen with an option to fix the detected errors. Users can very easily view the errors which are displayed in a tree view with complete registry location of each found error. Another interesting option is "Ignore Selected" error which gives user the power to tell RegInOut not to detect this error again until it is ignored. By default all the detected errors are checked for fixing but user can uncheck any one of the errors or the whole error category if he wishes not to fix for some reason. RegInOut skips the unchecked errors and do not fix them but they are detected again on next round of scan unlike ignored errors. The total number of errors selected for fixing is displayed on top of this screen.

Summary Screen
Once the user presses "Fix Errors" button RegInOut removes the errors from registry and takes user to the summary screen. This screen displays the summary of result for the last scan activity. Category wise number of errors detected, cleaned and ignored is displayed on this screen along with date and time of last scan on top of the screen.

Backup/Restore Screen
As described earlier no registry cleaner can be perfect, registry backup feature for this reason becomes a
must for any registry cleaner. RegInOut provides this feature in a hassle free way, user do not need to bother
about remembering to backup registry before removing corrupt entries each time. RegInOut automatically makes a
backup of registry entries before fixing them. Rather than backup of whole registry with each round of fixing
making the process slow RegInOut only backup those registry entries which it removes.
The backup/restore screen displays a list of backups taken with each round of fixing along with date/time. User can easily restore a backup by pressing "Restore" button after selecting the backup. User can also remove a
backup from the list.
Startup Manager
Startup manager screen displays the list of entries which are marked by windows to run when the PC starts. User can enable/disable any particular entry.

Options Screen
This screen gives user the ability to manage the ignore list, schedule RegInOut scans and set other options
including setting of windows restore point before repairing errors. Scheduling of scans is a good feature to
achieve better results regular cleaning of registry is always advised. The scheduling feature provided by
RegInOut is very simple easy to understand and use. User can also configure RegInOut to start when windows
start.
Two very useful options which work in combination are "Automatically repair Items after scan" and "Automatically
shutdown application when repair completes" making the whole process to work without any sort of user intervention.
You have scheduled a registry scan and your PC is on, RegInOut will start, find the errors, create a backup, fix
them and then will automatically shutdown.
