Personally, CCleaner is the only program that I apply to any computer I
repair. I have never had any undesired results from using this program. It
is on the shy side of what it attempts to do and is not very aggressive at
all in it's changes. It also allows you to backup the changes and reapply
them if you have any dire consequences by allowing the changes.

That being said - I can't say as how I have ever realized any improvement
after cleaning the registry!
