Just try a search of the forums for them. You'll find several recent threads recommending the best free products, like RegCleaner and others. Yes, they will clean up old entries that are no longer valid. Good luck.

The only problem with M$ Regclean is it's not compatible with XP - and it doesn't work right on 2000. It's excellent for Win9x/ME.
