Hello Sir, This mail is pertaining to "regedit". Sir i have been using windows server 2003 and oracle apps has been installed in my machine. Sir whenever i run "regedit" in start menu it shows an error that "registery editing has been disabled by adminstrator" and system autometically restarts. Please tell me how to solve this error. Thanks Aditya

Hello, The problem is you have no permission / rights to edit the registry.i think u ron a domainnetwork, and ur not a member of administrator group. so, the solution is contacting ur network administrator to enable/give u a permission and right to edit the registry key. if u r in a workgroup network and there is no network administrator, try to login ur machine with administrator account Best Regards, Sherif Talaat

Hello, the problem i have is that i am the only person using my laptop, and my account is already the adminstrator. So how do i enable my Registry Editor.

Mate, This might occur due to a virus infection. Check this registry key,HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools = 1Changed the value 1 to 0.Either restart the system or Kill explorer.exe from the task manager and relauch it. Cheers,Harish

I have the same problem, I can not open the regestry edetor , MR Harrish suggested it must be a virus infection and, suggested opening the regedit to deal with it! the problem is not being able to open the regedit in the first place ! I can open Gpedit.msc but, don't know if this can help, and how. thanx imadr

You can create a text file with the correct registry settings. Save it with the .reg extension and double click it. You will be promptif you want to modifie your registry.

you don't seem to realise what exactly is the probelm buddy. when I run regedit , it gives me an error message: regestry editor has been disabled by your administrator. regedit is in c:\windows , the file is there , double clicking on it generates the error message . any idea ? thanx imadr

Hi all,I was trying to mention this,From a same machine in the LAN->open registry->Click on file->Connect to a network registry->type in the problem machine name or IP address. Check the registry key which I had already mentioned. As you might be aware in MS user should have admin rights from and to the machine which you are connecting too This link might help,http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=49744Cheers,Harish

If you can not run a .reg file:1. open GPedit.2.open User Configuration3.open Administrative Templates4. open SystemChange:Disable registry editing tools to not configured or disabled.Regedit should be useable on the next reboot.

How can I create a text file?

Ever heard of WMI?

thank you. it fixed the problem now I can open regedit.
