Re: Administrator loss. TIA

See www.dougknox.com, Security, Disable/Enable Registry Editing Tools. Also, note, unless you're on a corporate network, this is often a sign of some type of malware/virus infection.

I seem to have lost admin control. ie; cannot enter registry
"regedit"
as I get the message "Registry editing have been disabled by your
administrator". Any help with this problem will be gratefully accepted.
