Hi all,

I have Win2000 PRo on my home PC with IE6 and Macfee AntiVirus Recently some spyware got onto my PC, changed my home page and disabled my access to the part of IE's Tools->Options which allows the home page to be changed. I tried to fix this through RegEdit, but got a message "Registry Editing has been disabled by your Administrator".
I have installed Spy Sweeper, Spyware Blaster, and Spy Ferret. With these I have cleared all Spyware and Adware, I have regained access to change my home page, but still can not get at RegEdit.

When I log on as administrator regedit work fine.
When I logon as myself with administrator access right.
I still can not run regedit.

Can anyone suggest how I can get back in control of my PC.

Yan Zhang.
