Leave the registry alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite
what many people think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software
try to convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really
hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

FWIW, I've use CCleaner's reg cleaner every now and then. It's very
mild, has never trashed anything I needed. It's useful for getting rid
of obsolete keys, the same ones that Revo Uninstall finds after the
program's uninstall has done its work.

YMMV.



It's probably the safest of all registry cleaners. But that doesn't
it's risk-free.

And there's really no particular advantage to getting rid of obsolete
keys.


CCleaner Pro on my side. I've been using it for years and have yet to
face any problem with it. Regardless of what some expert says, my own
experience with the registry (since Windows 95 beta) has been that an
uncleaned one will indeed slow the computer down and you'll face more
issues by NOT cleaning it of unnecessary keys.



My experience is completely different from yours.
