regtools.vbs - Disable/Enable Registry Editing tools in Windows
http://www.dougknox.com/security/scripts_desc/regtools.htm

© Doug Knox - rev 01/10/2000
This code may be freely distributed/modified.

Usage: Download regtools.vbs Save the file to the folder of your choice.
Double click the VBS file. The VB Script file will check for the appropriate
value and if not found will create it. If the value was found, it will be
toggled to its opposite state and you will be informed that you need to log
off/back on or restart your computer. One note. This change is made in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Disabling
the tools takes effect immediately. Enabling requires a restart. This
script can be viewed in Notepad or any text editor, as to the specific
Registry key and value that are updated. Your antivirus software may report
this script as potentially malicious, or a possible virus. This is because
the script writes to the System Registry.

It uses a vbs file instead of the REG command. After using regtools.vbs,
reboot.

David,
I am encountering exactly the same problem you had before.
How did you resolve yours?
I tried downloading the vbs file from htt://www.dougknow.com/xp but for
some reason I could not find the file anymore.
Is there another way of fixing this problem?
Appreciate any help I can get.

I'm an administrator of Windows network with respective admin
privilidges. I log in as the Administrator account, and I can run
regedit on my laptop - setup with Windows XP professional. When I log
in as myself - even though I am part of the Administrators group, I am
not allowed to run regedit from my laptop. I get the message
"Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator."
How do I enable this feature for my account and/or what group policy
do I change for my account (please advise as towards how I do this).

Tnks Always.
