for regedit it's easy, just search on google. Other people already explained it, no point in doing it again. For example, read these:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regedit
http://www.akadia.com/services/windows_registry_tutorial.html

and a DWORD means an integer (that's a natural number, no fractions or decimals) between 0 and 4,294,967,296.

EDIT:
Also, wikipedia has this to say about Vanilla:

Vanilla is also commonly used to mean "plain" or "conventional," derived from the use of vanilla extract as the most popular flavoring for ice cream.

So, in this context, it would mean the original software that came with the phone, no changes. Or the original WM6, for example.
