The value
for disabling Windows registry is named "DisableRegistryTools". It is
a DWORD value in the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersión\Policies\System
It has two values: 1 and 0, where 1 is for disabling the edition and 0 for
enabling.
For enabling it again, in Windows XP we have to use
the command line (start/run/cmd.exe) and “reg†command. The full command to use
is this:
reg delete
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
/f /v DisableRegistryTools
You have to
type it in a single line.
At last, I
have to say that this key is modified by several viruses, so it is a good
choice to scan the machine for viruses (see our links section).
Note: the steps from above can be done in an automatic way by downloading this
script from our repository.
