Regedit Disabled?

Question

Hi Everyone:

I am unable to use the regedit.exe command because of the following error message: Registry Editor has been disabled by administrator error message. Any information regarding the steps for reenabling the Registry Editor will greatly be appreciated.

Answer 1

You are logging into the pc in an account that does not have administrator rights.

You need administrator rights to do a register edit.

Either log in as an administrator if you can or have your system administrator do the edit.

Answer 2

I had this problem too and I am administration and its the only account on it, I basically just downloaded a freeware registry editor to save a complete reinstall of what seemed like a corrupt file.

I use Registrar Registry Editor.

Answer 3

Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc -> User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Prevent access to registry editing tools -> Right Click Properties -> Disabled

There is also some virus/spyware/malware that can cause this behavior as well.

Answer 4

In Administrative Tools goto SERVICES and enable "REMOTE REGISTRY"

Answer 5

Are you login in administrator mode? If not, try to do so first, then you can see it. :-)
