I have a computer running Windows XP Pro SP2 (which is part of a domain).
When I go to edit the registry as administrator, I get an error message
saying that registry editing has been disabled by my administrator.
This is not a domain issue, because 1. no other computers do it on the
domain and 2. it happens if I log into the local machine also.
Anyone have any ideas?
Andrew,
Does the "owner" of the computer have local administrative rights? This sounds
like one place where I worked, where it was a sort of running "game" between the
"owners" and the staff. The owners would block administrative access, to
supposedly keep us from scanning their computers for the many music and movie
files that they would try and hide there.
