NO, it will just make some programs run differently.
If you want to fix registry entires, download
CCleaner

Program will just have different settings, and might run a
little
bit slower, but not noticably.

I use Tweak Now to clean out stray registry entries, as well as RegCompact to defrag my registry.
both are free and available on majorgeeks.com.
