Registry Question

I recently installed Reg Seeker (freeware). The initial scan found dozens of entries in the registry which pointed nowhere. Fine--I made a registry backup and deleted the 'orphan' entries.
My question is this: Has anyone else using Reg Seeker encountered any problems after deleting entries.
I ask because after my initial deletions, I was unable to click on 'browse' and automatically go 'My Pictures' (a problem which I previously posted and subsequently corrected).

Search for EasyCleaner 1.7f. This works wonders for me. It also is capagle of removing invalid start menu entries, duplicate files, unnessesary files such as *.tmp, *.log, ETC. It will also remove invalid regisry entries, and create a backup upon deletion of the invalid items. I find this a very good tool. I have been using it for 2 years now, and I have had no problems with it.
