once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Ya I am trying to run regedit. And I am the admin account on my PC. [win key] + r --> regedit. I tried that and nothing happened.
Then probs it's disabled though the group policy management console

paste this into a command line:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reboot when done... some spyware likes to muck with this setting so it's harder to remove. fail spyware is fail.

I just tried that and the command prompt comes up for like 1 second then disappears.steelie34 wrote:

that's what happens
if you want to see if theres any output from it, make a batch file with 2 lines - the one steelie posted followed by pause on a new line, then save it and run it

You could try running the hidden admin.
Ergh, need to find command.
Right, open up command prompt (might need to right click on cmd and select "run as administrator") and type
Try running regedit from there.
And to disable the admin account, go back to your normal account and type the following into cmd.

Switch user/log out (probably best to log out), log into the newly shown "administrator" (it's not password protected).net user administrator /active:yes

net user administrator /active:no
