Regedit is not a "registry cleaner" in the same sense as the
programs being discussed. Basically, it's a specialized "word
processor" dedicated to the registry. Still, there are risks when
using regedit, too. Delete or change the wrong things and the
computer can be trashed.

Tell us what those are so we can be more aware of what to keep
away from.

You must be kidding. There are thousands of ways you can totally hose
your system by screwing around in the Registry with Regedit.

Then regedit is clearly a bigger threat than say CCleaner's registry fixer!
