If you are encountering some error message like “Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator”

Disabled_Registry_editor

This means that your system has been probably infected by a virus called rontokbro@mm. Now to remove the virus you will have to scan your computer with a good antivirus software. But Even if you remove the virus the registry editing will not be enabled. To Enable Registry editing again follow the procedure given below

Method 1 : Using Run Command

Click Start Menu –> Run or else Press Win key+R to open run dialog box.
Now Type

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

add Press Enter. Registry Editing will be enabled.

Method 2 : Using .reg file

Sometimes these bloody viruses also disable Run functionality. In this case you can follow following method.
Open Notepad and copy paste following code in it.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000

Now save file as abhishek.reg. NOTE : Dont save file as .txt but as .reg
Now double click the file and when system asks for permission to add information in registry click Yes

Add_information_in_Registry

Registry Editing will be enabled.
