Well, I both agree and disagree. On principle, I would agree, but there are
some decent tools out there that will *not* trash your system.

I don't use them much anymore, but a few years back, I had a Registry tool
that could verifiably delete some Registry components that were obviously,
without-a-doubt incorrect/obsolete. Sure, it wouldn't really take care of
many real problems, but it'd clean some things up that were pretty much safe
to remove.
