I get "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator." error
message. I can't edit even I'm the administrator. This is a XP Pro SP2
system. What can I do?

Thx. Which is the key changed in Registry that causes this. In this case,
can one know which malware is running with Autoruns?

If you have XP *PRO* version you may use gpedit.msc to enable registry
tools again. When someone uses HE version then it's necessary to use
other way - for instance vbs script. ;-)

Hi,

Thx.
Mine is Win XP Pro.
How would you manage to do this using gpedit.msc?
Appreciate.

I do not remember exactly the place but it was something like that:
gpedit.msc -> User configuration -> Administrative templates ->
System -> Disable registry tools (set option to disable).
