Hi
If the message says "Registry editing has been disabled by your Administrator",
this might apply:
Unless you have edited the policy yourself, it is the work of the Swen worm or
similar (it could be from some spyware or parasite as well).
Copy and paste the URL address lines into your IE address bar:
http://www.dougknox.com
In the menu, select Security, Disable/Enable Registry Editing Tools.
This small VB Script will remove this restriction. If the first time the
script is run it says "Disabled", run it again to enable registry edits again.
To try to find what has caused this if you haven't edited the policy yourself:
Run a cleanup tool, e.g. Stinger.exe from McAfee, it removes 30+
virus/worms in one sweep.
McAfee AVERT Stinger

For the Spyware and Parasites part, you will need to run other tools:

The Parasite Fight

Hi,
Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs
http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/sramesh2k/reg/IE_reset_restrictions.reg
The problem is due to:
1. A spyware. Download Ad-Aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system
and eliminate the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **
2. You have enabled SpyBot immunize (protection) feature or any other
similar software
