Is there a way to get full permission over the registry editor? And if so
how?. I need to remove some registry keys and it will not allow me, even
when im on the key and goto permissions. continues to say you do not have
permission even when I check the keys that are blank. Will not ever let me
check special permission..
Thanks,
Bob

Start Orb>Search box>type: regedit [enter]

When regedit appears above, right-click it and choose "run as
Administrator".

So my guess that you hadn't done the two things I suggested in your
other thread was correct, eh?

It will not show anywhere to run as administrator. regedit appears but nowhere while right clicking does it give the option to run as ad.....

Are you working from a user account with administrative privileges as
opposed to a standard user? I can't think of any other reason why you
wouldn't have the right-click option to "run as Administrator" (and I'm
not sure that you still wouldn't have that option with a standard user).
Do you have UAC turned off? If yes, try turning it on again.

Other than that, I'm afraid I don't know why you don't have the option
unless the computer is badly infected. Hopefully someone else will have
the answer for you. I'm sorry I was unable to help you with this.

Bob -Regarding the instructions

"...Start Orb>Search box>type: regedit [enter] When regedit appears above,
right-click it and choose "run as
Administrator"...."

disregard the "enter" following "regedit" - right click as directed.

Thanks, AJR. My error in including [enter] in the instructions (just
habit and I should have proofread better). Hope that's the only reason
the OP wasn't able to run regedit elevated. Thanks again for catching my
mistake.

Hi, Bob.

Have you tried running RegEdit from an Administrator:Command Prompt window?

Start | All Programs | Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, then Run
as Administrator. You'll need Administrator credentials to get past this
point.

This should open the usual Command Prompt window (We old-timers still often
incorrectly call it a "DOS window"), but the Title Bar should say,
"Administrator:Command Prompt". Any .exe file run from this window should
automatically "run elevated". (I find this very useful and I use it often,
so I've put it a shortcut into my Quick Launch - but it still needs the
password every time I open this window.)

Then, in this window, just type "regedit" and press Enter.
