What is the full extent of a Windows repair? Does it just reinstall all the windows files and setup files? I've also seen it reinstall the registry so it's new and so that you have to reinstall your drivers.
Next, I have many old uninstall entries in the registry/computer. When I reinstalled my network card, it shows up as Network Adapter 2 and Local Area Connection 3. How can I clean out my registry of the other dead entries? E.g. what are some good registry cleaners?
Going along, what are some programs you use to keep Windows "fresh" since it slows itself down by design.
Thank you for you time. I really don't want to format every couple months just to keep my Windows O/S running smoothly. Formatting does work, everything does run more smoothly, and I can get all my things down in a weekend but it's really annoying.
