Goto: Tools -> Folder Options and in File Types tab look for REG extension.
After selecting REG extension, click on Advanced button and select Merge in the Actions section. Then click on Set Default button.

No use, it is set to open in notepad with every action.

Change the Merge command string to:

regedit.exe "%1"
