i have win xp on my comp, and recently found out that i
cant do a regedit. it keeps saying "administrator has
diabled reg edit function" I am the only person on comp
and i have checked --i am the administrator. where do i
go to change administrator functions?? i have tried
making a new administrator and turning myself off, then
reversing the process. it didnt work . the new one i
made could do regedit but when i made myself
administrator again i still couldnt do any regedit..
does anyone know what to do??? help please...
 
Hi,
This could be the cause of Swen worm , which avoids you accessing the register edit for deleting their changes being made to the computers registry Run key . Update your Antivirus and perform a complete scan for worms/Trojans/Viruses . If you find sth and still have the problem then paste the following to your notepad , then save the file as Regrepair.reg
Then double click the saved file and add its contents to your registry:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\exefile\shell\open\command]
@="\"%1\" %*"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\batfile\shell\open\command]
