Phrostie, what version of Wine do you use?
regedit was updated to use msvcrt not long time ago. I
think phrostie uses much earlier version of Wine, and
it linked against libc. It seems our msvcrt can use
Unix paths. This works for me:
$ /prj/wine/programs/regedit/regedit /e
/home/apalamarchuk/1.reg

In the current version of Wine regedit is a link to
winewrapper, but the situation you described was true
for older Wine.
