Registry Enable-Disable (Win XP)


The Registry is the core of operating system. It is a hierarchical database that contains all information about computer's configuration. You can open Registry Editor from Start->Run and type "regedit" without quotation marks. It has huge facility sleeps in. If you can understand and start playing with it, then you can do a lot of tricks and trips on computer. BEWARE!! it is dangerous because of a small mistake will crash your operating system. So, be careful while playing with it. That is why sometimes System Administrator make Disable and hide it. And yes, some modified viruses/Worms also make it Disable so you will not find them manually and remove same. You can easily Enable/Disable it from following steps:

Disable Registry:
Type following text in notepad or copy-paste it and save it with .reg extension then run/merge it. It will Disable Registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000001
Enable Registry:
Type following text in notepad or copy-paste it and save it with .reg extension then run/merge it. It will Enable Registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000


If above trick will not work then don't worry, just email me. I will send one more trick and I am sure, it will work.
