I've never heard of a Junk file, but the registry is Microsoft's way of organizing bedlam. Back in the bad old days of Windows 2.x, 3.x, etc every program and piece of hardware had one or more .ini files containing default and user specified settings for the configuration. The Registry is a database that replaces that system with a single repository for all configuration settings.

The CLASSES_ROOT hive is kept for backward compatibility - last I checked it was obsolete, but programs dating from the earlier Win9.x days still rely on it. The CURRENT_USER hive contains settings for the currently logged on user; these are created using values from the USERS hive when a user logs on to the system. The LOCAL_MACHINE hive contains settings specific to the machine, such as hardware and software installed, services to start on power up, etc. CURRENT_CONFIG contains dynamic information that applies only to the current session.

It should be scanned periodically for two reasons. One is that many software developers don't know how to use the Registry correctly, or write uninstallers that neglect to remove obsolete entries from the Registry. This clutters up the Registry database, and can affect performance. The other is that virus writers love to tamper with the Registry to spoof your PC into running phony programs when it's supposed to run legitimate programs, and to make their nasty wares run at startup.
