Hi, I recently called PCcillon to get tech help to remove
a virus. I succeeded in removing it but in doing so The
techy somehow had me disable my Regisrtry Editor
capabilities. Now I'm helpless to 'enable'it. I believe
I'm logged in as "administrator", not as a "guest". How
can I re-enable regedit so i can enter the registry?
 
Thanks Taurarian, the file seems EXACTLY what I need to
enable my registry...BUT, I don't follow the directions.
They say to download and save the file. All I see is a
script of what looks like editing changes that need to be
made in my registry. But I can't get into my registry to
make *any* changes. What am I doing wrong? How do i
utilize this "file"?
 
Ron, this is copied from Doug's site - you need to double click the file to
run the VBS file once it is saved to your HD.

Save the file to the folder of your choice. Double click the VBS file. The
VB Script file will check for the appropriate value and if not found will
create it. If the value was found, it will be toggled to its opposite state
and you will be informed that you need to log off/back on or restart your
computer. One note. This change is made in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Disabling
the tools takes effect immediately. Enabling requires a restart. This
script can be viewed in Notepad or any text editor, as to the specific
Registry key and value that are updated. Your antivirus software may report
this script as potentially malicious, or a possible virus. This is because
the script writes to the System Registry.
 
Taurarian>>I did it!<<..Many thanks fro your help. I WAS
at Doug's site and read the very same instructions. I
just couldn't make sense of them till you reiterated
to 'doubeclick' on them. (The file seemed to be a mere
text instruction for altering registry. I could not
understand, till I double-clicked the download, that it
could activate and modify my 'disable' administrator
switch. A-h-h-h-h, I feel like I just had a a HUGE pebble
removed from my shoe.
THANK YOU!
