Can't open regedit

Like the title says, can't open it, went to this...

http://securityresponse.symantec.com...stry.keys.html

When I went to click on "UnHookExec.inf" expecting to be an option to DL the file, there wasn't. Right clicked on it and saved it to my desktop then put it on the infected PC. However, when I right click and then choose to install nothing happens and I still can't edit the registry.

Having this issue...

So how can I get my registry opened?

Would also like to add that I can't boot up into safe mode. Even though I am putting in the correct username/password it won't accept it. Just had to restart the notebook and log into windows. And that's where I am now.

After doing some reading I come across to try an online virus scanner because the ones installed on the system won't work.

So I go for Panda and while it's in the process of installing and scanning my IE has an error and closes.

Seems that everyway I try to get around this worm to get rid of it, it shuts me down!

**Update**

I've gone here:

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ToolsQuit.htm

And was able to open and change the copies...but my question is, what next? I mean, I need to edit the orignals, not the copies.

go into safe mode with network support and DL antivir and let it run
afterwords DL the latest updates and run the scan again
