The Windows registry works like an attic; stuff just keeps getting tossed in there, eventually creating a big, jumbled mess. Rick Cook explains why you need to pay attention to the registry and reviews types of registry tools for doing some spot cleaning.

I like to see in depth articles about the registry also, but then you might as well look at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit... .
It's best for regular users to stay out of it completely and leave checking and cleaning the registry to the tools available, even for keys that seem simple to us like the ones you mention. The registry is too powerful and complex to mess with it, unless you do it on a test machine.
