"Administrator loss." TIA

[sandy58]

I seem to have lost admin control. ie; cannot enter registry
"regedit"
as I get the message "Registry editing have been disabled by your
administrator". Also, the method of "opening" hidden files has gone.
Any help with this problem will be gratefully accepted. TIA

Elmo, thank you for the "Kelly's Korner" tip. An excellent &
informative site. I managed to find there, some malware removal
software that removed the cause of my screw up. Now I have to do a
repair job on Windows and sorted. Much obliged, Elmo.
