Re: How can I disable the use of regedit and regedt32?

Hey I got it. I used this page:

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/tweakuirest.htm

I just put #1 in the Run key and that was it. I looked at that key under my
other admin accounts and there was nothing in there so I just assumed it was
that way in the Administrator account also. Turns out there was a bogus
codec called sys_vd4.dat in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System which I got
from using Firefox 2.0.0.14 the other day. I remember it because I couldn't
stop the d/l w/o crashing the application which is what I should have done.

The value name is 'DisableRegistryTools' add it with value 0 This should
work. I think the 'Meaning' column descriptions on that page are reversed.
Do you get the message indicating policy restriction?

Yes Dave that's what I got and Microsoft REALLY should have put
"DisableRegistryTools" in that article!!!

Yeah on the surface that looks like it should be helpful. But if you
look
closely at that solution, there is no name for the registry entry that
is
to
be used there. In fact the key (System) does not exist in Windows 2000
and
REG_DWORD is a DataType not a REG_NAME. So there is really nothing I can
do
with that. The link to the Group Policy Table is dead. And the Group
Policy
Entry they say I can follow under User Configuration I have is Not
Configured. So it look's like that's a bum path, Maybe something like
this
might work?

I would be willing to just delete the entire Policy key as I see it is
virtually empty but I forget how that is done in a .reg file. Do you
recall
John? -[] I think?

How about a a windows script that would assign all permissions of one
user
to another user? I could take all the permissions of one of my admin
accounts and assign them to my Administrator account. That should do it?
