Error Message :Registry Editor Has Been Disabled By Administrator
how to enable registry editor??
If u r getting an error msg like
Registry Editor has been disables by administrator
then here a a few ways to enable REGEDIT.EXE
Many times when working on a computer that has been infected with a virus,
trojan, or piece of spyware I find myself with my most important command,
Regedit, the Windows Registry Editor being disabled. Virus creators
like to disable the Registry Editor so it makes solving the problem
and removing the issue difficult.
Sometimes administrators in IT departments may place restrictions on
using the regedit command to keep employees from changes things on
company computers, but viruses and other issues may also try to disable
it.
Listed below you will find the different ways to enable regedit,
the RegistryEditor.
First we'll begin with the method that appears to work the best.
Method 1 - Enabling the Registry with VBScript
Doug Knox, a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional, has created a VBScript
that enables or disables the Registry Editor based on the following
location in the registry. Of course, since the registry editor is
disabled, you can't change it manually, so Doug wrote a Visual Basic
Script to accomplish the task.
HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\
Visit Doug's page and download Registry Tools VBScript to your desktop, double-click on it to run it, then reboot your computer and try to open the Registry Editor.
If this fix didn't solve your problem, try method two shown below.
Method 2: Use Symantec's tool to reset shell\open\command registry keys
Sometimes worms and trojans will make changes to the shell\open\command
registry entries as part of their infections. This will cause the virus
to run each time you try to run an .exe file such as the Registry Editor.
In these cases, visit Symantec's website and
download the UnHookExec.inf
file to your desktop. Right-click on it and choose Install. Restart your
computer and then try to open the Registry Editor.
Method 3: Rename Regedit.com to Regedit.exe
Some viruses and other malware will load a regedit.com file that is many
times a zero byte dummy file. Because .com files have preference over
.exe files when executed if you type REGEDIT in the run line, it will
run the regedit.com instead of the real regedit.exe file.
Delete the regedit.com file if its a zero byte file to restore access to REGEDIT. In some cases, such as the W32.Navidad worm, you'll need to rename the REGEDIT file to get it to work.
Method 4: Windows XP Professional and Group Policy Editor
If
you have Windows XP Professional and access to an administrative user
account, you could change the registry editor options in the Group
Policy Editor.
Although there are a few other ways, the above ways I have used with great
success in re-enabling the REGEDIT command. If you are interested in
more ways to reactive the REGEDIT command, you may want to visit a site
called Killian's Guide, that goes into more detail on a variety of ways to get the registry editor to work again.

- Type GPEDIT.MSC and Press Enter
- Go to the following location
- User Configuration
- Administrative Templates
- System
- In the Settings Window, find the option for "Prevent Access to Registry Editing Tools" and double-click on it to change.
- Select Disabled or Not Configured and choose OK
- Close the Group Policy Editor and restart your computer
- Try opening REGEDIT again

Download free anti virus software - AVG anti-virus free 8.0
From April 24, 2008 AVG is releasing a free version of the popular AVG Anti-Virus. This version (8.0) contains both anti virus and anti spyware and is the best free option available in the market. Unfortunately the free version lacks proactive scanning of browsing links to block malicious URLs (which contain spam/keyloggers).
AVG free offers fast scanning since spyware/antivirus engines are integrated. Another good thing is that it has a low load on the system. It also comes with safe search - each time you search online, Safe Search checks the results on the fly to give you an immediate idea of which websites are safe to visit.
The limitations of the free version are,
- No real time link scanning.
- This cannot be installed on Windows server versions.
- No technical support
