Shell "regedit.exe"
That's because the folder that contains the "regedit.exe" has been registered (added) to the environment variable $PATH. With the same way you can execute apps such as cmd.exe etc..
The shell method has a second optional argument with which you can set the app's (in out case regedit.exe) window state. (maximazed, minimazed, focused, etc)
Hope that helped
