Expandable String Value

[Fastway]

I have admin rights on my home net. Some were along the way I lost the ability to create Expandable String Value and another reg string, when using regedit.exe.. My backup admin account can create the string and the other accounts on the computer can also. How can I restore this action without rebuilding my account.

Just a quick try.
Make that user a restricted user and then an administrator again.
It can fix some rights.
It may not, work, but it is worth a shot. The solution is out there.

While in RegEdit click on the appropriate registry key and from the drop down edit menu click on permissions. Check that you have permission to write.

I gave myself power user rights and took away my admin rights, no such luck. I can edit and modify the expandable strings but I can not create them. This only happens in my account.

Fixed !!!!!!!!!! Some moron did a search for regedit.exe and then made a shortcut to his desktop. Well if that moron duel boots with windows 2k and win xp. The windows 2k regedit.exe doesn't do everything that win xp regedit does. So what I (the moron) am telling you is, watch your shortcuts!!

Thank you all sorry I wasted you time!!!
