Dick,
 
I only mess with the registry or run programs that do as a LAST attempt to recover a computer with significant problems. 
 
Some of the registry cleaning programs can turn your computer into a very expensive paperweight in a few minutes.  (You should be able to recover your compter and data, but it may be very expensive.) 

Cheers,
Rob
