WinZip Registry Optimizer is a basic registry repair application. This software does not offer a large amount of advanced features, but it provides all of the tools you need to optimize your registry and improve the performance of your PC. WinZip Registry Optimizer is designed for those who are uncomfortable with working too closely in the computer’s registry. It provides an easy-to-use interface, step-by-step guidance and a variety of safety features to help prevent a mistake from damaging the entire machine.

WinZip Registry Optimizer provides powerful performance. This application found 130 registry errors on our test computer within 30 seconds. Registry Optimizer provides a fairly large set of registry-cleaning tools to make this powerful performance possible. This software checks for application paths, invalid fonts, empty registry keys and shared folders. It also removes duplicate paths, checks for invalid DLLs and fixes corrupt files. However, WinZip Registry Optimizer does not check for spyware or shell extensions.

Most of the features included in this registry repair software are basic. There is a scheduler tool that allows you to set specific times for scans to take place. You can also use the ignore list to set exclusions on files you do not wish to be scanned. However, there is no startup manager, which is a drawback. This would help you go through all of your startup applications to remove those that might be slowing down your PC's boot-up time.

There are a few safety features included in this application to help keep your computer safe. The software makes a backup before each scan in case something goes wrong during the process. It also offers a severity indicator for each section of your registry so that you know how damaged they are and how crucial repairing the process is to your system. There is no individual undo tool, which is a disappointment. There also are no detailed logs about previous scans, and issues found and repaired during those scans.

WinZip Registry Optimizer takes both easy navigation and a simple design and combines them into effective registry repair software. You navigate by simply choosing one of the five labeled tabs across the top of the interface. You’re able to check the status of your computer, scan the registry, optimize your computer and even backup and restore your computer's registries. Each process takes a few minutes to complete and gives you plenty of information to keep you on the right track. It doesn’t matter if you’re a novice to the computer world or have been around the block a few times, because WinZip Registry Optimizer is both simple and capable enough for everyone.
