Did you type in Run-Regedit? Try just regedit. That should get you into the Registry Editor.
Regedit will run from either the Run dialog box or from the Command Prompt. For the first, which Symantec is implying, click on Start, then on Run, then type regedit and click OK. For the other, click on Run, then on All Programs, then on Accessories, and then on Command Prompt. At the cursor, type regedit and hit Enter.
I generally prefer the Command Prompt because it will run some things that Run will not, but I dont like all those extra clicks. Therefore, I keep a shortcut to it on my desktop.

milentie, Go to the link below and download the Fixswen.inf file. Save the fixswen.inf file to your local hard disk, right-click on the file and choose install.
"A Setup INF file to undo registry changes made by W32/Swen@MM and other threats that prevent REGEDIT, BAT, COM, EXE, PIF, REG and SCR files from running".

Hopefully it will correct the problem and you'll be able to then run regedit.
