You’ll get an error message saying that you don’t have permission from TrustedInstaller. Since this folder is a Windows system folder, you won’t be able to simply right-click and rename it. You can find the regedit executable file in the C:\Windows directory. This is quite easy to bypass because you can just rename the EXE file to something else like regedit_new.exe and it might load just fine. Sometimes a virus or malware program will simply prevent the registry loading by the name of the EXE file (regedit.exe). If this didn’t work either, keep reading! Method 3 – Rename regedit Another good tech blog has written a detailed article on different ways to edit the registry offline, so check that out if the Run command method didn’t work. Luckily, there are ways to edit the registry while offline, meaning editing the registry without having to load Windows. Since Windows is running, you might run into problems using this method. You may have to restart your computer first. Now try to open the registry editor and see if it is accessible. REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f Click on Start, type Run and paste the following line into the Run box:
Using this command, we can try to add a key that enables the registry. Method 2 – Registry KeyĮven if you can’t open the GUI registry editor, there is a DOS command line tool called REG that lets you edit, update and manipulate the registry. If you have a home computer, then you don’t have to worry about all of this, just restart your computer and you should be able to edit the registry again. You may also want to try the whole procedure above while disconnected from the network in order to ensure that the corporate policy does not override the local policy. You can try to avoid receiving the setting from the server by restarting your computer, but disconnecting your network card so that it can’t communicate with the network. In a corporate network, the gpupdate command will download the settings from the server again, which might just overwrite the setting to Enabled. If not, go to the command prompt (Start, Run, type cmd) and type in gpupdate, but only if you are not in a corporate environment. Now try to run the registry editor and see if it works. Step 4: If the setting is set to Enabled, you can change it to Not Configured or Disabled. Step 3: In the right hand pane, double click on Prevent access to registry editing tools. Step 2: Navigate to User Configuration – Administrative Templates – System.
