CCleaner is a very valuable asset when used wisely. Disk Cleanup is very good, too, but they are different beasts with some overlapping uses.
Prevailing sentiment here on TenForums is that both the "registry cleaner" and the "driver updater" are best ignored in CCleaner, but there are many uses for this versatile tool, and I, for one, wouldn't be without it.
