The following files
regedit 131 kb (application) - in Windows
regedit 13 kb (help file)- in Windows - Help file
regedt 46kb (Compiled hmtl - in Windows - Help file

Many viruses, worms and trojans will block the running of MSCONFIG, Task
Manager and the Registry Editor -thus making the removal of the intrusion
more difficult. Since the system tools are blocked by name, renaming their
executables is a workaround. Example: Rename regedit.exe to regedit.com

In your case, rename the one in the Windows folder that is 131 kb in size.
(The next two in your list are help files and the last one is prefetch
data.)

Or you can run the tool created by MVP Doug Knox that creates a "backup
set" of those three programs for you:

Run the resulting regedit.com that this program creates.

Also, check your system thoroughly with an up to date antivirus program.
