Does Vista require a registry cleaner such as RegClean or any other
third party registry cleaner?

No it doesn't. Keep well away from registry cleaners, in most cases they
cause more problems than they actually solve.

Why not? Use CCleaner - it has a good built in reg cleaner.

CCleaner is excellent for cleaning out the temporary internet files and
other most recently used index files and I use it a lot, but I don't use the
registry cleaner, even though it is 'tame' compared to other registry
cleaners. My maxim is 'if you can't manually edit the registry then leave
well alone.' Registry cleaners have been know to cause more problems than
they solve and they certainly flag more false positives than positive.
You use registry cleaners at your own risk.

YES.

If in doubt, do a google search and make up your on mind.
