I have a w2k server with terminal services installed in application server
mode. When I do Start-Run regedit, it says this operation has been cancelled
due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator. I am the system administrator and did not enable any policies
on my terminal server. Please help.

Use the Group policy editor
%windir%\system32\gpedit.msc
User Config\Admin Templates\System\Prevent Access To registry Editing
Tools="Not Configured"

(usually spyware/ junkware that sets this Reg_Dword decimal value to 1)
DisableRegistryTools
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Window*s\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
