When you install free tools and software on your machine, sometimes your Windows registry might get corrupted. Most of the system failures are related to corrupted registry or Windows services. RefreshPC is a nice freeware tool for Windows which allows users to reset the Windows registry and services to default values. So in case any issues with the registry can be solved using this tool. Apart from this, it can also clean up the Windows temp folder as well as prefetch files.
