Hello friends,

My problem is when I try to open registry editor by start> run > regedit, it displays this message.
"Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator"

I logon with administrator administrator account, then why it gives this message.

Thank you for reading my post.

If it's XP Pro, you'll want to check your group policy settings.
To run the Group Policy Editor, see How To Use the Group Policy Editor to Manage Local Computer Policy in Windows XP.
In that editor, go to Local Computer Policy->User Configuration->Administrati ve Templates->System. In there, check the item called "Prevent access to registry editing tools" and make sure that it is not enabled.

Hope that helps.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
