create a shortcut on your desktop and browse to:-

c:(or drive windows resides on)\windows\system32\regedt32

note how regedt32 is spelt...there is no extra "i". once you have created
a shorcut you should be able to access it at any time.

........is that gasoline i smell?

Actually, on XP there should be a binary called "regedit.exe" in the C: \Windows directory.

Check that first, if its not there, that`s your problem.
If it is there, then your environment variables are screwed (the "PATH" one specifically)
Since it should have "C: \Windows" in there (ignore the space after the colon)
