My understanding is that cleaning the registry files does nothing (doesn't save space or improve speed). The windows documentation says that deleted registry files just get bypassed in the programing. If you delete them after they have been bypassed it just creates a space in the registry and does no compacting. Thus programs you may buy to "clean" your registry have no impact on consolidation of the registry, thus: Useless process. Leave the registry files alone, windows takes care of it's own stuff.
