Regedit is located in the Windows (WINNT) folder

Try this DWORD:

Create a text file & change the file extension to .reg ( TOOLS menu/FOLDER OPTIONS/VIEW Tab & uncheck the 'Hide all file entensions for known file types', click APPLY & OK Change the file extension from 'txt' to 'reg', ignore the warning. Go back into FOLDER OPTIONS & re check that hide file extensions..., click apply & ok

Right-click your newly created reg file & choose edit (second (maybe third) option down on the menu)

Now paste in the following info exactly (between the dashes):

------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
------------------------------------------------------------

If someone has listed regedit not to run then it could be any value. Example:

1 = "Regedit.exe" or it could be 5 = "Regedit.exe"

You could delete all the values under that key by creating a blank key, but I don't suggest it:

------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; All Windows Versions
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer\RestrictRun]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer\RestrictRun]
; 2000 & XP Specific
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun]

------------------------------------------------------------

Notice the above key has comments after the ';'. That means that its a comment & won't be entered into the registry.

Me personally are a programmer. So, I would write an application to change the first key above, then enumerater the values of the last two keys above & delete 'regedit.exe', but that's me.

I hope this helps
