Eliminate the “Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator” message
If you have recently tried to open the Windows Registry editor (regedit) and you got a “Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator” error message, you still have hope for working around this issue. This message may appear when you attempt to open the registry editor for many different reasons but all you want to do is get into your registry so that you may complete what you originally set out to do with your system.
This message is very common when utilizing a computer on a corporate network or one that has been “locked down” by a system or network administrator. In some cases it may be hard to work around this message when you are dealing with a computer that was setup by a corporate administrator or company IT department. We do not recommend that you attempt the task of editing the registry on a company system although you may still bend the rules anyway.
If you want to go forward with re-enabling the ability to open the registry editor then you can follow the following steps in our first technique. A second technique is provided in the case that the first does not work for your particular Windows system.
