I am locked out of my own registry. I am the administrator, but when I try to run Regedit.exe, it says 'Registry Editing has been disabled by your administrator. Please help me.

Some say Live and learn. I say Live on the computer.

Did you try just typing REGEDIT in the run box, not REGEDIT.exe

When all is said and done
More is said than done..

I fixed the problem by making another admin account. Now I just need to find out how to get rid of Norton registry...
