Is it OK to remove these and then defrag the registry...
Macboatmaster if you get a chance to review this log do you think those Active X entries have anything to do with my previous problem of the inability to remove the Downloaded Program files?

Meikahyael -
Thanks for the link. I am no longer comfortable removing registry entries (although I have been using various registry cleaners for 7 years - Auslogics Registry Cleaner, Eusing Free Registry Cleaner and CCleaner followed up by optimizing/defragging registry using ERUNT's NTREGOPT) based on the GTG suggestions that it really does not enhance performance (See excellent explanation by Macboatmaster previous to this response) and can turn your computer into a doorstop. As a result although I like the idea of removing entries from the registry and defragging it, it seems like no one can agree that it does anything for your computer's performance.
That is somewhat of a loaded question. I did not see anything in that screen shot that would cause Windows to not boot, but then again, your screen shot did not show everything that was tagged by CCleaner either. That said, I have used CCleaner's Registry cleaner for many years on countless systems with no problems - ever. But that does not mean I would ever recommend it with backing up the Registry first. And never, as in NEVER EVER use it to "fix" a broken computer.Is it OK to remove these and then defrag the registry using NTREGOPT (from ERUNT)?
Something I forgot to mention, I always defrag in Safe Mode too. This ensures only the minimum number of files are open - and there for movable.After booting, I usually have to defrag first then use CCleaner then back to defrag otherwise AVG locks the log files and I am unable to defrag them.
Yep. That's normalMost refer to programs that were uninstalled.
