Editor: Scan-X is a system maintenance multi tool. The registry scanner can identify hundreds of types of problems with your registry, including bad or missing file paths, links to uninstalled software, incorrect component registrations, and values with missing or faulty information. Periodic cleaning of the systems registry is imperative to keeping a fast and stable operating system. The MRU scanning facility, checks for many types of lists on the computer that contain information about recently accessed documents and images. These lists are sometimes considered a privacy concern. The temp file scanner can identify many types of temporary files on your hard drive. These files are often left over from a software installation, or are logs or internal files, that use up valuable drive space.
