Registry editing.

[Big Rick]

Hello folks,

I seem to have lost the ability to edit the registry. I am definately logged
in as administrator and definately do not have any passwords set on this. The
error is "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator". Please
can you tell me how to turn this back on.

Your help is and always has been very much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
