registry

[vigneswaralu]

I use windows Xp prof. with service pack 2. I have only one account with administrative rights but I have the passwords for the original 'administrator' account of XP. The problem is that if I try to edit registry with my account it says "Registry editing is disabled by your administrator" and folder options menu is not visible anywhere not even in control panel->tools, but these are accessible in original 'administrator' account of XP.How do I restore this in my account?

first run ur updated antivirus and/or the above toll in SAFE MODE. (u do have an av dont u ). clear ur pc junk with 'ccleaner'. then pls post ur hjt logfile here or at www.hijackthis.de for analysis.

once u have got rid of ur infection, u'l have to re-enable 'registry editing' and 'folder options'

this will help u to re-enable registry edtg *www.faqfarm.com/Q/How_do_you_enabl...if_it_has_been_disabled_by_your_administrator

after this is done, to enable back the folder options :
click *www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and go to tweak number 129. download it, double click on it and add to registry. reboot.
