And there is no v-machine app available (not even VMWare Fusion on a Mac Pro) that can test high-powered apps like video editing software effectively. You have to do it native and there's no other way to do it right. And if you're going to state there are "far more thorough and safe" methods, try citing example methods next time. You didn't even name one. If you were smarter, you’d realize Sandboxie is junk.

In any case, there are far more thorough and safe to use registry cleaners than CCleaner. I am not one of those who think that registry cleaners are bad.

Tune Up and Wopti are both really good programs still, IMO, and have certain points or value to make one better over the other. At least between the 3 I'm guaranteed to get rid of all trace elements of any programs that have been uninstalled.

There isn't any reg cleaner I've ever used that cleans everything 100%. However, CCleaner gets the most garbage out in my experience. Hence the reason I still perform manual registry edits.
