Newbie,

That's exactly what I said. You can write a .vbs file (or an application, if you wish) to remove the Policy ("DisableRegistryTools" - mostly enabled by Virus/Malware, particularly in a standalone system).

Ramesh,
The Policy only disables the registry through the keys I put in my original
post. It only stops users from going in via regedit

FYI: If "DisableRegistryTools" Policy is enabled, the users won't be able to
merge the REG files. One can use a .VBS though.

David,
START | RUN | Type 'regedit' & press ENTER
That should get you into the registry . If not, you may get a message like this
has been disabled by the administrator. If so, create the following registry
key:
------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
-------------------------------------------------------
Open Notepad
Copy what is between the '-' above into that Notepad doc
File menu | Save As, surround the filename with double quotes like so:
"Unlock.reg"
Choose All Files from the File Types
Click the SAVE button
This will now create a registry file, which you can double-click, enter in the
registry & click OK to the successful message
-----
If you cannot add the above info & gain access to the registry then post back
the error message
------
The other user who said that your post makes no sense whatsoever is partially
right but the installer adds keys to the registry like RUN, UNINSTALL or FILE
ASSOCIATIONS etc. So, he/she is also incorrect with their outburst
Anyway. We await your response,
