Arrow Registry Cleaners

Howdy folks, I am looking for some input on registry cleaners/fixers. Do they work ? Are they safe ? I am currently trying Registry Mechanic and Crap Cleaner. They seem to work, whenever I run them they always find errors to fix and stuff to delete. But I just dont know if they are doing more harm than good

Any Advice ?

Not sure why you would want to delete any reg entries anyway, it only frees like 10bytes of drive space or something insignificantly similar.

Maybe the reg fix is OK, can’t say I have ever needed to repair the reg, do you play with your registry? If you do always back it up first

its not about space, having a lot of unusable/old/useless reg entries can slow your pc a hell of a lot, even cause errors.

Tis true, unwanted registry entries can slow down windows startup and/or running some some programs.
