A virus called “Brontok ” could disable your registry editing tool “regedit”.

In order to get it back to work you don’t need any anti-virus or complicated steps, i get it back to my computer using this three simple steps:

1. start -> run

if you have too many viruses and you can’t find the run icon in you start menu, fix this first:

2. enter ‘cmd’ then ok

3. then enter this code and press enter

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

now you can open the registry edit directly start-> run -> regedit !  :)

Thanks! I missed the “v” after System /. It was chopped off in the above. It did work.

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
