What you fail to recognize is that a registry cleaner finds items that are not
associated with anything else (a useless key).
Problem is that you don't have a list of what to search for. Hence, you cannot
clean your registry.

I may be just playing with words here, but I don't think a registry
'cleaner' is called for even in that case. There are several third party
registry 'editors' that are more convenient than regedit. Basically, they
make it easier to navigate through the registry. For those who work in the
registry often, and who know what they're looking at, a well designed
registry editor can make working in the registry a lot less tedious. And
let's face it, working in the registry is dull. I'd much rather be playing
with Windows Media Player. :-)

The main problem with all registry cleaners is that if you don't
know what you are doing you can trash your system, And if you do
know what you are doing you don't need them.

I'll disagree with the last, a registry cleaner is usually much faster
than manually going through the registry.
