REGEDIT is broken

[Guest]

Whenever i attemp to open my REGEDIT from the RUN programs, i recieve the
error:
Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator.

I have never disabled registry editing and if I may have done so
accidentally can someone please tell me how to enable it?

Hi Joram,

Give Doug Knox's "Disable/Enable Registry Editing tools in Windows" a try:
http://www.dougknox.com/security/scripts_desc/regtools.htm

Once you have enabled registry editing, if you receive the "Registry editing
has been disabled by your administrator" after restarting, then your
computer has possibly been infected with some type of malware that is
disabling registry editing. Ensure that your antivirus program is updated
and run a full scan. In addition, have a look at the information here:

Interesting. Do you know where this stemmed from? Is this a work
enviorment system? What are trying to do via the registry?
