We use Registry Editor to perform some changes in the systems registry. But sometimes due to some viruses we face a problem and we are unable to open the registry editor and we get a message saying
Registry Editing Has Been Disabled By Your Administrator when we type the
regedit command in the run dialog box. In order to re-enable the registry editor we'll use the Group Policy Editor of Windows XP. Thus this procedure can only be implemented if your system is running
Windows XP Proffessional. To enable the registry editor follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Click on Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc, click on Ok
Step 2: In the Group Policy window that is opened, from the left pane expand in turn,
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
Step 3: In the right pane, double click Prevent access to registry editing tools
Step 4: In the property window, select on Not Configured and click on Ok
Now your registry editor is enabled. Before doing this make sure to disinfect your system with a good anti virus.
