A hog wash perhaps. Even pigs benefit from a bath. Think about it.

Actually, you are the oxymoron.

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

It is false. Aside from creating enormous problems ,cleaning the registry does not
make your computer faster or does it free up space,It is a very dangerous tool in
the hands of the inexperienced and even occasionally for an expert

Registry cleaners are snake-oil.

Why refrain from citing examples?

I started avoiding that program when they included the ability to
clean out the prefetch folder - another fable that is hogwash on
steroids.

But they get dirty again very quickly. Seriously, these reg cleaners
clean out so little, the registry does not reduce in size
significantly after...'compacting' before and after cleaning.

Don't do it. You will get a warn feeling inside by seeing the amount
'cleaned', but it won't help at all. It is the VERY LAST thing I try
before reinstalling.

One registry cleaner I used in the past fecked up Encarta 2009 and I
had to repair it.

I have endeavored to search for anything good about registry cleaners, and
have yet to locate any other than the sales blurb put out by the authors of
said utilities..

Ordinarily yes, DrTeeth.

But in this thread, unfortunately, I get the sneaky suspicion that it would
be a case of pearls to pigs / hogs...unwashed ones as well.

Pearls to pigs DrTeeth, pearls to pigs .......
