This suggests that there is more than one file on the system called REGEDIT and Windows is picking up the wrong one. To cure this problem, proceed as follows:-

Now you should be able to launch the Registry Editor by pressing [**Windows Key**] + [**R**], typing **REGEDIT** and clicking **OK**.
 * 1) Click **Start** > **Control Panel** > **Folder Options** > **View**.
 * 2) Select the option to show hidden files and folders, and turn off the option to hide protected operating system files.
 * 3) Click **OK**.
 * 4) Press [**Windows Key**] + [**E**] to open Windows Explorer, then navigate to **C:\Windows\System 32**
 * 5) Look for a file called **REGEDIT.COM**, right-click on it and choose **Delete**.
