This has been occured due to the value that has been changed in the registry value (DWORD)from 0 to 1. So, just copy and paste the following commnd in the "RUN" window, and press "Y" when it asks to enable the value. By doing so, the regedit gets enabled and will be opened.

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0

This error occurs due to the virus in the system. In the task manager kill the process "regsvr.exe" having the size of 1.9MB. After killing this process you may execute the above command.
