I know those who love to make spam accusations and who literally hate
Registry Cleaners so much that they closed mindedly and constantly attempt
to force their misguided opinions and misinformation onto the public will
come crawling out of the woodwork over this, but I think this group could
use this post anyway.

I've been participating in Usenet groups and other computer related forums
for a lot of years. BBS's since before the WWW. Long before the Windows
registry anyway.

I can't even begin to count the number of posts I've read that follow some
form of "I used some software name here registry cleaner and now some
computer function here doesn't work anymore. How do I get my computer back
to the way it was?"

I have never seen one, with the exception of obvious spam, where the
individual spoke of a measurable performance increase. Of course there's
always the occasional person who is just really really excited about
registry cleaners for some odd reason.

I am able to reach a conclusion about registry cleaners based on years of
data. They obviously and undeniably can do more harm than good.

Logic would also conclude that these tools are most often sought after by
individuals least capable of safely using them. That is to say those looking
for a "one click fix" are more likely to have insufficient knowledge to
understand the ramifications of changes a registry cleaner may make than
those who would, say, use regedit to properly fix an actual known problem.

Anecdotally after Win 3.11 I've used Win 95, Win 98, Win XP and now Win 7.
(skipped ME and Vista I've never used a registry cleaner of any kind. My
computers have always run just fine thank you very much.

Use one. Don't use one. Makes me no nevermind.

Probably shouldn't be giving people the idea that they are perfectly safe
and provide great benefit. Undeniable irrefutable history says that's simply
not the case.

Saying it with great conviction doesn't make it so...
