| All you have to do is to double-click the .REG file and the entries will be reinstated in the registry.

Selecting the option to boot the "Last Known Good Configuration" should use the last version of the registry that did boot successfully. The registry cleaner in Ccleaner is generally considered to be safe - it shouldn't leave the PC in an unbootable state.
