CCleaner. only one you need.  anyone who has never cleaned a registry does not understand how it works and how dangerous a BAD registry can be if not properly kept up.  and YES invalid and empty registry keys slow down a computer Especially during the last phase of the booting of the shell.

Last Friday my desktop Win7-64 Pro system had a BSOD.  In order to return to Windows, I had to use a System restore.  After that, when I did a CHKDSK /F, I got lots of file corruption.  SFC/SCANNOW also reported I had file corruption.  Finally, I did a scan with the System Update Readiness Tool and it was unable to fix all problems.

Yesterday I did a Repair Install with a Win7-64 SP1 DVD which I had to order from MSFT for $30.  For the last 48 hours I have been trying to fix my system without having to do a full reinstall.  I was told by MSFT support that I had registry corruption and the only way to fix it was a full install which I am not going to do.  They used Tweaking.COM's "Windows Repair (All-in-one) and it didn't work.

So far, I have been unable to do a few Windows Updates.  I am NOT going to do a full reinstall.  Just doing a Windows Repair was unbelievable.  I had to remove my 16 GB RAM and replace it with 2-2GB sticks just to finish.  If I have to, I won't install the failed updates but I will NOT do a full reinstall.

So you see, paying a paltry $50 for the best registry cleaner is well worth it.  The problem is, it will be difficult finding the best one and the general public doesn't feel the same.  Most people would rather just spend a week reinstalling Windows instead of paying a lousy $50.

MSFT did have RegClean for Win98SE long ago but they discontinued it.  Now they have essentially NOTHING.  The registry has become more complex.  This is why, despite MSFT being the RICHEST corporation on the planet, they would rather save their money and just go ahead and let you take a full week reinstalling Windows whenever it happens to crash.  If MSFT really wanted to, they could hire an ARMY of programmers and fix this problem in a month.

If a registry cleaner was neccesary MS would have produced one, as an inbuilt maintenance utility

Don't bother. You do NOT need any sort of registry cleaner and most of them are snake oil.
