The error message seems self-evident.
What have you checked?

One possibility is that if you followed the suggestion to use WordPad
but did not use the doublequotes the example specified
and did not change the type of the file before saving IEreg.bat
it might actually have been saved as something like IEreg.bat.doc

Further if you don't display extensions the icon on the Desktop
(assuming that you also followed the suggestion to save the file
to Desktop) would just be labeled IEreg.bat (hiding the .doc extension).

Next I will guess that rather than doubleclicking on that icon
(which would relaunch WordPad) you opened a command
window and tried to enter IEreg.bat there, thus producing
the above error message. (Even if you did navigate to the
correct directory (or had a reference to it in your Path environmental
variable) there would be no IEreg.bat to execute as a batch file
anywhere because of my assumption about the extension
the file was saved with.)

Did you not understand my comment to Mark?

And?

BTW for OS which can do them (including now XPsp2)
a nearly equivalent repair to Mark's script would be
a standard IE Repair (KB194177).

If you need more help please make your problem description clearer
so we don't have to resort to so much inferential speculation.
