Registry Cleaners
Holy cow you finally make some sense.

That is also not true and is a misconception. You need to remove
hundreds if not thousands of dead entries to be able to notice even a
very small difference.
Best advice to anyone is to DO NOT TOUCH the registry
Peter F. has written a sensible, decent post. In truth, problems are
seldom fixed by changes to the registry. Speed problems are seldom due to
the registry in any large way. With a slow computer, any improvement to
the registry are nearly guaranteed to be overshadowed by other things. It
isn't very often, in fact it's nearly never, the registry is solely at
fault for a slow machine and very seldom is a place to start
troubleshooting.

I would agree with the warning of the possibility of (serious)
damage to the Registry and the consequence that the computer may not
boot up. I would also agree that it may not be necessary to clean
the Registry very regularly. However, the Registry does become
bloated with calls to uninstalled software which does increase the
time needed to boot up - at the very least. However, the additional
space requirement of a bloated Registry may not be significant. I
would suggest, say, an annual tidy-up.
