It is very odd that you are missing regedit; is it possible you have a virus? You might want to try running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Commented Feb 13, 2010 at 7:30 I found in C:\WINDOWS but what i gonna do now? Commented Feb 13, 2010 at 8:13 run it and find the key.. Commented Feb 13, 2010 at 8:42then in the Command Prompt, type:
dir C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe and the file should be listed.
If you see instead
Directory of C:\WINDOWS
Then something very strange has happened.
But you can also try regedt32 in C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedt32.exe
If regedit.exe is where it should be, then Windows can't find it because C:\WINDOWS isn't in the path.
In a Command Prompt, enter echo %PATH%
Rr you can use the GUI: Start > Control Panel > System, click on the [Advanced] tab, and click the Environment Variables button.
In that poky little dialog, in the System Variables section is an entry for Path. Double-click on the "Path" entry, and there's an even tinier (and barely usable) dialog in which you're expected to be able to inspect and edit the semicolon-separated list of directories.
Scroll along the text field looking for entries like C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\system32
I suspect they won't be there, in which case you'll need to add them:
Insert into the text field:
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem; ensuring that the entries are separated by a semi-colon.
