I also like this program which cleans your registry and will also clean startup items. I've used it for a while now and it is a nice small program that does a good job preventing things you don't want from installing.

This is wrong.
You do not 'inevitably have corruption in system files' - The only time 'system files' would be 'corrupted' (im not even sure what this means) is if you did something to cause it. Not to mention, if you truly had system file problems, they would show up as much more than slow startup.
Now, sometimes you can get some redundant registry entries and the like, but they aren't going to cause any startup slowing, or really any ill effects at all. And you can take care of anything like that with CCleaner, which you should be using as anyway.
