you may need to increase the privileges in your area to administrator.

also i would run Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy

update them before you run them.

If at first you don't succeed, hide all knowledge you even tried.

1st code to execute in *.vbs

'? Veegertx - 06/27/2003
'This code may be freely distributed/modified
On Error Resume Next
'Prevents errors from values that don't exist
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Delete DisableRegistryTools registry values

WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"

'display message
Message = "You should have access to Regedit now"

X = MsgBox(Message, vbOKOnly, "Done")
Set WshShell = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing


2nd code to execute in *.vbs

On Error Resume Next
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
RegKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel\"
ValueA = WSHShell.RegRead (regkey & "HomePage")

If ValueA = 0 Then 'Change Homepage is Enabled.
Result = MsgBox("YanShi aR..ur Homepage is currently [Enabled]." & _
vbNewLine & "Would you like me to Disable?" & _
vbNewLine & "Will lock and Gray it out." & _
vbNewLine & "May need to Log-off for effect.", 36)
