Registry Access Disabled! can't get into registry to get it back

[Jimmy]

I did something stupid:
I downloaded a file that contained a .reg file.
I ran the file without looking at what it did and it
disabled registry access. It contained the following
entries:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVers
ion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main]
"Window Title"="THE NET Gamers Guild"
If you know how to help me without charging $35 like
microsoft please email me.

Copy and paste the following into a reg file:

REGEDIT4

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

Save the file to the root of your C drive, naming it regfix.reg. Open
a command prompt window (start, run, cmd.exe) and enter the following
command:

regedit -s c:\regfix.reg

Type in that command in hit the enter key. You should then be able to
run regedit.
