Copy and Paste this into notepad and save it as regediting.vbs --------------- 'Enable/Disable Registry Editing tools '© Doug Knox - rev 12/06/99 Option Explicit 'Declare variables Dim WSHShell, n, MyBox, p, t, mustboot, errnum, vers Dim enab, disab, jobfunc, itemtype Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") p = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\" p = p & "DisableRegistryTools" itemtype = "REG_DWORD" mustboot = "Log off and back on, or restart your pc to" & vbCR & "effect the changes" enab = "ENABLED" disab = "DISABLED" jobfunc = "Registry Editing Tools are now " 'This section tries to read the registry key value.

Another way. Click Start > Run, Copy and Paste this -----> REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f Now hit Enter. Close everything down & reboot.

And because you have XP pro, here is another way to try. Click Start > Run, Copy & Paste ------> GPEDIT.MSC & hit Enter. User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Group Policy, set all to -----> Not Configured
