Probably not because they don't use them.

I have seen a lot of evidence, but I do not make notes, because I do not care, whenever people believe it or not, I do not make a religion out of it. Reg cleaning is great in a problem prevention, driver or software related, like once a person could not install a software, which was caused by an obsolete entry, completely unrelated to that new software or it caused a driver crashing/BSOD. Sometimes people have strange problems and I know, that a simple reg cleaning could solve it (it takes a few seconds), but I do not recommend it, because I know, that it is not appreciated here, so I recommend a repair upgrade instead. I do a deep reg cleaning regularly and I do not even make backups anymore, because over the years, I have not had a single problem due to it, I consider a maintenance essential a to have a smooth running PC.

Same here, topics like this are like: What is better coke or pepsi?! Everyone has their own preference.

Depends how one looks at it, could be that they are sure or have experienced it with other's computers. Remember that Schrödinger's cat ?

Cheers,

That was my sentiment about car tires and than I run into a pot hole.
