Well CODE will allow you to post stuff that a normal post will not do, html and so on. Also it's used like quote, but usually for copy and paste stuff. Like, html, registry, and other stuff like that.
There are very advanced books written on the registry subject. Just like me, you're going to be learning as you go, and it will take ages to understand it all. It's not really CCleaner's fault that it's not more easy to understand -- after all, CCleaner can't tell you *why* there are useless entries in the registry, because the reasons are always different. You'd have to go on a case-by-case basis. There's a lot to know about Windows internals, especially the registry. All I can say is: gather as much knowledge as you can for now, and for anything you can't figure out, post a thread and we'll try to assist. Try to avoid guides about "tweaking", as they don't properly describe what's going on in the registry as much as they just compile lists of program-specific and OS-specific settings.
Some things to look up:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
'classes' in the registry, in general
CLSID
COM (Component Object Model)

TRIPLE POST!!! WHOA
stop freaking quoting! it's not necessary to quote when the quote comes from the PREVIOUS POST!
but why is bloke53 quoting...?
Could've possibly been using the browser back button.
