The registry optimizer on CCleaner is rather confusing, which is why registry cleaners and optimizers, in general, are not a good idea!

Doesn't BC advise not to use and discourage Registry Cleaners? For all you know, your next clean out will gut your CPU.. Inside, AND OUT.

BC does advise to NOT use them. Look around the site, you will find out real quick!

Word is mess up once and your done. Your computer will be virtually irreparable, and theres like an idiom for it;
If your processor is the heart of your computer, doesn't that make your registry the brain? Using a Registry Cleaner is like doing open brain surgery- with a ballpoint pen.

The part where you said that using a registry cleaner is like doing open brain surgery with a ballpoint pen, I believe.
.....but then again, that's almost like what it is.

It is.. Unless you are a professional or know you are doing, you are taking risks of never letting you boot up your computer (or keep the human alive in the open brain surgery)

I thought it was a good analogy, but funny at the same time.
Of course the humor would be lost on someone who had to reload their computer after using a registry cleaner.

Agreed with what DaChew said.
And, of course, the analogy fits just fine. I'm just saying almost to exclude professionals who know what they're doing (and they wouldn't use a ballpoint pen)
And I'm shutting up.

If they used Ballpoint pens, and the patient didn't die, i'd praise them.
Anyways, in all conclusions- Registry Cleaners are to be used under your own risk, and unless you know what your doing, it is STRONGLY advised NOT to touch em'.

Let alone that even if you do know what you're doing, it could still render something useless with one little slip up.

I do not know about you, but I found cleaning up my registry is really helpful. Let alone, if you install WINAP (music application) and reinstall it immediately, you will be left with 500+ meaningless entries in your registry. Do it with 100 programs and you end up with 50 thousand meaningless entries in your registry. I do sometimes install 20 programs a day, to check it out... and registry cleaning helps.

Try 1000s for a package like the old Norton System Works. But that is cleaning with a specific purpose, not part of a general way of "optimizing" just because you can. Nortons own Norton Removal Tool does much the same thing.
