It appears you have to go to the Group Policy editor. You do have to be the
administrator to enable this function.

Go to run, the type: gpedit.msc and hit enter.

Is there someone else that is the administrator?

Hi

This might be the work of the Swen worm or something similar
(it could be from some spyware or parasite as well).

To try to solve your problem, do the following:

Copy and paste the URL address lines into your IE address bar:

In the menu, select Security, Disable/Enable Registry Editing Tools.

This small VB Script will remove this restriction. If the first time the
script is run it says "Disabled", run it again to enable registry edits again.


To try to find what has caused this:

Run a cleanup tool, e.g. Stinger.exe from McAfee, it removes 30+
virus/worms in one sweep.

McAfee AVERT Stinger

Be sure to run an updated Antivirus program at all times.


For the Spyware and Parasites part, you will need to run other tools:
