Read this post about repairing registry permissions.
It's becoming a common problem as of lately, and seriously needs to be made into a pinned/sticky thread with the repair instructions!
Complexity of incoherent design.

That looks pretty screwed up. You'll have to open regedit yourself (Start > Run > regedit.exe) and surf your way to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Windows NT, Currentversion (etc etc) and delete them yourself. It's also important to note that CCleaner does not support UNICODE (which sucks, a lot).

the registry keys use a different character set than CCleaner, and as such they never get cleaned out.

Just go to the registry and rename the keys.

CCleaner needs to support UNICODE or this issue will just keep appearing more and more.
