    Be very cautious when using registry cleaners; I've had to repair several Windows installs (a few times, involving a complete reinstall) due to using these "utilities". And yes, CCleaner was one of the regcleaners that screwed up.

    There is an option to backup your registry before you run anything, which is obviously advisable.

    But yes, use with caution.

    I "Ghost" all my hard drives right after I get the box... sure simplifies things when something/anything screws up! But I had to learn this the hard way! Is there ANY other way of learning ??
