 COM (Component Object Model) is Microsoft’s component software architecture developed primarily for Windows. It is the foundation upon which OLE and ActiveX are based, and provides a means to re-use code without requiring re-compilation. In COM, a component is a platform-specific binary file that compliant applications and other components can utilize. Programs incorporating a component’s services never have access to its internal data structure, but instead include pointers to its standardized interface. Thus, it is possible for components to interact with each other regardless of how they work or what language they are written in. ActiveX, OLE/COM produces many registry problems on Windows system.

Application Paths are used for storing keys and values of Windows applications. If some application ceases to work on your Windows, you can clean and optimize this registry hive to fix the application problem.

Empty Registry keys are when a program of software has made a ‘folder’ and either never filled it with contents or has been uninstalled and the ‘folder’ remains but has no contents. They are harmless. Just take up a little space. It might also slow down certain processes if there are too many empty and useless keys. No matter what registry cleanup tool you are using, empty registry keys will certainly be removed in registry cleaning.
