when creature Regenerates in magic does that untap it??

nope. when you regenerate a creature you create a regenaration shild. the next time this turn (? or is it phase) this creature would be destroyed it isnt instead. using up the regenration shild taps the creature and if it is in combat (attacking or blocking) you remove it from the combat.
