What is wrong is that you are using some crappy compiler such as Turbo C to run an MS-Windows 32-bit program. Can't be done. Toss out that compiler and use a modern compiler such as Code::Blocks (with MinGW compiler) or VC++ 2008 Express -- both are free.

Also: the / character can not be escaped -- just delete the \ before /

It's awful.
Never use system() on Windows ! (prohibited, see MS papers)
Use Win32 Reg apis.

Link please. I've never seen Microsoft say systemI() was prohibited. If it was then why does M$ compilers support it?? I agree there are generally other ways to do it, but prohibited? -- I doubt it.
