That sounds a bit drastic for what might only be a corrupted file. I have a version dated 29/8/2002, size 332Kb. Have a look at yours, and if mine is the same as yours, I can email it to you.
Just send a PM with your email address.

Try this
Click Start | Run,
type regedit
press ENTER.
Find and click the following registry key in the left pane:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Applets\Paint
Right-click the registry key, and click Delete.
Close regedit and restart your computer
This registry key is rebuilt the next time that you start Paint.

I think Puta is saying that when you get to the final part of his key i.e. the word Paint, you highlight that word, rightclick and choose delete. That will clear out Paint and everything below it. Then when you reload Paint it should start up correctly.
