Can you do a system restore? Try to do it in safe mode.
Reboot and press the F8 key until you get a menu to choose which reboot you want. Choose safe mode.
Log on as administrator. And use Run: msconfig to get System restore to a previous date.
Another shortcut that might work in safe mode: hold down the windows key and press the pause/break key on the top right of the number pad. The window that comes up will give a system restore option in one of the tabs.
I'm not really sure what has gone wrong there. Of course, next time back up your registry before editing it. Scary stuff

Do a full scan of your system using an Anti Virus Tool.
Add another user with full administrative privileges on Users applet in Control Panel. Login with that person's name and try to run regedit.
