I'm pretty sure regedit is supposed to be an EXE not a .COM file.... try regedit.exe, or regedt32.exe, but you should be somewhat concerned, not only for the name, but for the behavior of the regedit window. Make sure you have an anti-virus installed.

If you belive you have a virus, please download Hijackthis, Extract it to its own folder, run it, and select "Do system scan and save log".
Post the log that pops up.

Regedit.com is not a valid Win XP executable, and is usually the component of an infection; the legit filename is regedit.exe.
Although I see no signs of infections in your HJT log, please read the information in these two links for more information on one infection known to create a "regedit.com" file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder:
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=43234
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.alcra.a.html
Look for the telltale signs described in the links and let us know what you find.
