the point is registry cleaners do no good 99.9% of the time, an unused entry in your
registry is just that, unused. It does no harm at all by simply existing and the
performance boost that supposedly comes from cleaning is debatable at best. Most
errors detected are in fact harmless and might actually be there for a reason that
the cleaner does not detect. So you are taking an action that has no real benefit
and carries great risk, it is like playing Russian roulette to keep your gun clean.
Sure you might have had no trouble so far but you take great risk and get no reward
out of it.
the .1% of the time a registry error is a problem handling it directly is better
than running a cleaner so you know what you are fixing and how to set it back if
you need to.
