Default Registry Cleaner

Because it comes from an MVP doesn't make it that much
better than any other thughtful poster on this group.
At least two other MVPs will tell you not to use it
under any circumstances for registry work. Those same
two instead suggest editing the registry manually;
completely folly for a lot more people than using a
cleaner ever screwed up.
All being an MVP means is they've passed a few tests
in one or sometimes more areas of the MS operating
system. That's good, but it doesn't mean that their
expertise is in the area of any particular thread, nor
that they are going to have any more common sense than
the next guy. All it says is they passed the test to
get the title. A few even use the title when it's not
true, but I don't see a lot of that on this particular
group.
So, while advice from an MVP CAN be great, it could
also be no better than anyone else's responses. As
with any group, it's worth lurking first and learning
who the better players are.

Even this MVP uses it.

So do I.

It's a very useful tool.
