Cleaning the Registry on a new install

Question

This may have been addressed already, but I'm very lazy and don't enjoy reading a lot.

 

When installing a clean game would it be advisable to run a registry cleaner before validating game files or does it not matter?

I suppose it would depend on which cleaner you are using. If you are using something like CCleaner then it wouldn't hurt anything. At best you would get a slight boost in Windows performance. Unless of course you have not cleaned the registry in a long time. In that case I would recommend doing it anyway.

The time you should be deleting stuff from the registry is when you uninstall a program. Even then left behind entries don't affect anything. Revo Uninstaller does a good job of cleaning up leftovers when uninstalling programs.

Yup, exactly, I just do it for organization.
