If you want a really good registry cleaner, go to: www.rosecitysoftware.com -- "Registry First Aid". I have used this software for nine years an it never has once removed a good registry key by error. Backs up your registry every time you use run the program.
You will find a check mark next to all green & yellow boxes. These are safe to remove. If you are an expert you can clean the ones with a check mark next to the red box. (Actually if you do remove a key that is checked off with a red box, you have your registry back-up.
You can go to, start, search, search all files and type in, "backup". Your system will scan for "RFA", open and you will find all your backups.
(This company has the blessing of Microsoft).

The registry is serious stuff unless you have a real issue I would not go poking into the registry not knowing what I was doing.
Editing the registry should be reserved for specific actions not blanket changes that are made by a regcleaner or similar program.
If you must use a program I suggest regseeker but in technology we call the act of those who don't know what they are doing.
It is " registry russian roulette."

No. There is a product by them called "regclean" but it's only for pre-Win ME i think...so 98 and 95.
There are commercial products though.
And Maximum PC magazine (pick up the latest copy) recommends several "toolkit" apps (most free)
One of which is CCLeaner (www.ccleaner.com) which "..nixes unused registry entries..."

No, you will need a commercial tool a freeware tool like Spy Bot or you will need to get a book on working the with registry and do it yourself manually.
