Few days ago i had a worm attack which activated on running the Y!Mesngr .:mad::mad:
  1. As a consequence the Run option ;Taskmanager and Registry editing of my Win XP has been disabled.
  2. Whenever i Ctrl+Alt+Del mesg displayed is "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator";while the user is and still being showwn as a Computer admonistrator in Control Panel->User Accounts.
  3. Similar for regedit.
  4. All other activities are apparent normal:confused:
.

What i did was
1>scanned using NOD32 and Avast which removed the worm.
2>created another user .this second user has no problems Run working Registry editing available

Open regedit and goto:

Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
In right-side pane look for a DWORD value NoRun. If its there, delete it. If its not there, then create it and set its value to 0. Reboot/log off to see the changes. :)

Its happening bcoz of the weak CMOS battery.
Open ur cabinet and u'll see a small coin size battery attached in the motherboard. Remove it and insert a new battery. U can get the battery from market within 20-30 Rs. ;)
