I do. That's why I advise people to make the backups and to very
carefully follow any instructions provided for the solution of specific
registry problems. Further, the chances of rendering a computer
unbootable by manually editing a single, or even a few, individual
registry entries are much less than those of doing damage using a
registry "cleaner's" shotgun approach.
