If you don't know how to do this the registry cleaner application can do the work, for a quite reasonable charge. The registry contains a lot of essential entries which should never be edited out. Should you edit out any essential entries the computer may become inoperable or your programs may not run properly. Good registry cleaner utilities will first backup the registry so that it can be restored if this becomes necessary. The registry will then be edited step by step to remove all unnecessary files and shortcuts, unused drivers, and a lot more.
