AFAIK CCleaner doesn't touch the Registry. It was, however, The Fix for some browser problem or other I was having about a year ago. It can't hurt and may very well help.

I have also learned to be very suspicious of any one-button approaches to "fixing" Windows. Two free programs that I trust more than others are Advanced System Care and the McGlary Utilities. I run individual modules though--still won't do that one-button thing. ASC has a companion program called Smart Defrag that I prefer for doing deep optimization.

HTH,
