There isn't a registry cleaner in the world that is going to know what should & shouldn't be there, unless it was the first program installed directly after the OS and has been keeping track of all changes made since.

Generally, pc cleanup tools are either ineffective, or shag something up.  Only people who use them tend to be 'pc experts' who's abilities do not usually live up to their claims.  Much like the software.

That said, there are some parts of the registry that can be cleaned up, but 99% of the time, it needs a human eye.
