The Windows registry is the computers storehouse of important
information. A Windows operating system stores all the information
regarding software, hardware, applications, settings and preferences
in the Windows registry. Whenever you make any changes to your system
or configuration, the registry is updated with these changes. However,
over a period of time the Windows registry starts building up as
entries keep getting added to it. The registry gets bloated with
information that is mostly invalid, corrupt, erroneous or redundant. A
bloated and corrupt registry full of errors adversely impacts the
working of your operating system.
The most common symptom of a bloated registry is the slowing down of
your computer. Operations that used to take fractions of seconds when
your computer was new will now start taking minutes to perform.
Booting up, opening and closing programs, everything starts taking a
lot of time as your operating system searches for relevant information
in a registry full of errors and trash. That is why it is advised that
you keep cleaning up your Windows registry periodically or after
installing and uninstalling programs....

No, it doesn't.

Advised by those trying to sell you something, perhaps. The consensus amongst
independent experts is that third-party products offering to "repair" or "clean"
your registry are far more likely to cause harm than good.
