Registry Error...Still couldn't be fixed

[HotDoGGy]

i have tried all the ways that i already know about....
1.) Disable the command in gpedit
2.) I heard it could be one of these bugs
•%System%\ 3D Animation.scr
•%Windows%\ inf\orBtok.exe
•%UserProfile%\ Local Settings\ Application Data\ csrss.exe
•%UserProfile%\ Local Settings\ Application Data\ services.exe
•%UserProfile%\ Local Settings\ Application Data\ inetinfo.exe
•%UserProfile%\ Local Settings\ Application Data\ lsass.exe
•%UserProfile%\ Local Settings\ Application Data\ smss.exe
•%UserProfile%\ Start Menu\ Programs\ Startup\Empty.p if
•%UserProfile%\ Templates\ A.kotnorB.com
•folder Bron.tok-XX ใน %UserProfile%\ Local Settings\ Application Data

so i dled anti-virus programs specifically for founding viruses that block reg-edit, about 4 programs infact...all saying that i dont have any problem...so just to be completely sure, i turned off system restore, went on to safe mode, and try finding these files myself, which should be in the files showed above...found NONE... anybody have any other solutions to this? (I'm beginning to think the cd i bought for windows blocked reg-edit intentionally T T)

Just checking to make sure that you have Local Computer Policy->User Configuration->Administrati ve Templates->System->"Prevent access to registry editing tools" disabled in the Group Policy Editor on XP Professional.

To activate or disable your registry try this script:

'Dafodil
Option Explicit
'Declare variables
Dim WSHShell, rr, rr2, MyBox, val, val2, ttl, toggle
Dim jobfunc, itemtype
 
On Error Resume Next
 
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
val = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
val2 = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
itemtype = "REG_DWORD"
jobfunc = "Registry Editing Tools are now "
ttl = "Result"
 
'reads the registry key value.
rr = WSHShell.RegRead (val)
rr2 = WSHShell.RegRead (val2)
 
toggle=1
If (rr=1 or rr2=1) Then toggle=0
 
If toggle = 1 Then
    WSHShell.RegWrite val, 1, itemtype
    WSHShell.RegWrite val2, 1, itemtype
    Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & "disabled.", 4096, ttl)
Else
    WSHShell.RegDelete val
    WSHShell.RegDelete val2
    Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & "enabled.", 4096, ttl)
End If
 

Just copy and save it as .vbs

Double click to run...

Thanks.

Especially, thanks to dafodil for the script!

I'm sorry but using the .vbs script still doesn't work, although the script itself seem to work, it comes up as "Registry Editing Tools are now disabled, and try pressing it again would enable it. But when leaving it at disabled and try opening reg-edit. Same problem would pop-up, it's been disabled by the administrator. Does anybody have any other solutions? (i'm a few clicks away to reinstalling windows)

[dafodil]

You should leave it as enabled, not disabled... If it still doesen't work try scanning your pc for a virus. Remove the virus first before running the script again.

I recommend avg.
