System32 should be on the PATH, and reg.exe should be available in XP.
C'est la vie. Try "%windir%\System32\reg.exe" instead of "reg". No
rush. It's just an icon.

By any chance are you using a 64-bit Windows XP? WoW64 redirection for
32-bit processes might be an issue. e.g., %windir%\System32 ->
%windir%\SysWoW64. 32-bit reg.exe run from a 32-bit cmd shell would
nominally operate on HKLM\Software\, but really access
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\.
