Is there a file that can open REGEDIT?

Examples

DOCX files can open MS Word
HTML files can open BROWSERS

Is there any file that can open REGEDIT?

I can't actually open REGEDIT, because accidentally I messed it up

Here's another thread where I said I can't open EXE files
CAN'T OPEN EXE FILES AND APPLICATIONS! MESSED UP WITH REGEDIT

If you did as I suggested and download HIren and create a bootable usb or disc you can
  • Boot to Hiren
  • Select the Mini Windows XP
  • Run regedit and load the registry hive file
  • Make the needed chagnes
  • Unload the hive
  • Reboot
