If you do run a registry cleaner, make sure the program has a feature to quickly, easily undo/reverse any changes it makes.

Broken registry items are usually from software that has been uninstalled, but the uninstaller didn't remove completely.
Most uninstallers do not do a good job of completely cleaning things up.
You shouldn't have to worry about them.
