Enable Registry Editor

[Bob]

I am running Windows XP Home Edition with myself as the
only user(therefore I am the Administrator by default).
When I try to run Regedit.exe I get an error message that
Registry Editing has been disabled by your administrator.
How do you access the Enable/Disable settings for the
registry editor?

The fact that you're the only visible user does not mean that you have admin
privileges.

The control panel> Users shows me as the only user with
type Administrator

Start / Run /GPEDIT.msc [ENTER]

The control panel> Users shows me as the only user with
type Administrator

Good idea but GPEDIT.MSC does not exist on my computer-
