I did an RC run with these settings:
The run displayed 38 lines. The following describes the lines:
1 line = an HKLM oarme key only (HKLM\Soft\MSoft\Win\CurVer\Uninstall\MPlayer2\)
3 lines = an HKLM oarme key followed by two entry names under the key
3 lines = another HKLM oarme key followed by two entry names under the key
12 lines = HKCU fod.dne which are OpenSaveMRU type entries
1 line = HKCU fod.dne which is an entry from wordpad's recent file list
13 lines = HKUS "synonyms" for the previous 13 lines
2 lines = an HKCU and an HKUS fod.dne which are "synonyms" for a media player item
2 lines = an HKCL and an HKLM ufe which are "synonyms" for a software class item
1 line = an HKCU ufe key only (HKCU\Soft\MSoft\Win\CurVer\Explorer\FileExts\OpenWithList\)

The above dialog constitutes a test of the RC "Remove" function. There were no flaws, only "characteristics," all of which are transparent to the casual user.
Next test will be Custom Fix, using the same data.
