I am not sure when it happened or how, but I lost administrator rights? I
have two profiles 1. John (administrator) 2. Sharon (limited). Sharon has
her own computer and very rarely ever uses this one.
When I am logged in as John(adminstrator) I can't access "regedit" anymore.
(I never mess with regedit and never manually edit my registry.) The reason
I found out that I can't access regedit is because my Windows Update doesn't
work either. When I ran through the Windows Update troubleshooter that said
to access "regedit" and then I discovered I couldn't. The error message I
get is: "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator." Even
though I am logged on as the administrator.
So I logged off and logged in under "Adminstrator" proper. Even logged in as
"Administrator" I can't access the "regedit". I also can't access MS Power
Toys Tweak UI. I get the message: "Tweak UI has been disabled by your
administrator", but I am logged in as the "Administrator".
I was able to change the profile Sharon(limited) to full administrator and
under this profile I can now access "regedit" and Tweak UI, but I still
can't under Administrator or John(administrator) profiles.
Any ideas how I can fix this? I don't know how this happend. I don't know
what happened and I don't mess with registry setting or things that I don't
understand.
Thanks for any help.
