regedit disabled by administrator

[InfoNow]

Help...I am logged in as Administrator, but I can not run regedit. I kept getting this message: "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator." Any idea why this is happening?

TIA

Probably because some system policys have been applied from the main server, therefore even logging on as administrator might not allow this.
To fix this problem you will have to pull a new policy down from the server, re-enabling registry editing.
Hope this works.

Carbonman,
Thank you for replying. I final got it fix by apply a registry fix called unlock.reg I downloaded from the web. That works great. Now I can get in to the registry fine.

Thanks,

Hi, I get the same problem on my XP laptop but my network server is only a router so has no control over my system.

Where did you download unlock.reg from?

Joe2kuk,
here is the link to the unlock.reg file so you can run RegEdit.

Hi all
Type "gpedit.msc" in Run box, >>UserConfig >>System, and make sure that "Disable tools for editing the registry" isn't active.

hey guys, just wanted to you all to know that, after hours (literally HOURS) of desperate help-finding and i-don't-know-what-i'm-doing, i finally found this place where i got the unlock.reg from InfoNow, enabled my registry, deleted the much sought after *HOMEPAGE* under IE, and freed my computer from homepaging on inappropriate sites that my brother "accidentally" clicked into, all before our parents came home...thanks to god, and of course you guys!

thank you thank you thank you, you guys are the best!
