I've personally never heard a technically proficient computer person recommend a registry cleaner. Why? The registry is a very complex system of settings and, if corrupted, can bring down your entire operating system. It is generally not advisable to run a 3rd party app on something as fickle as the windows registry. Below is a link that supports my recommendation that you avoid these 'registry cleaners':

A quote from the article:

The Registry is an enormous database and all this “Cleaning” really doesn’t amount to much…I’ve said this before, but I liken it to “sweeping out one parking space in a parking lot the size of Montana” … a registry “tweak” here and there is desirable or even necessary sometimes, but random “cleaning”, especially for the novice, is inviting disaster.
