When i go to 'run' and put in regedit, i get a message saying "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator". How do i enable regedit? I have a Son VAIO computer which runs Windows ME.

You need to log on as the administrator to use regedit. Or have the Administrator give you the permissions.

How would i log in as administrator? Something to do with logging off and then logging on with the name "administrator"? I dont ever remember creating a password for admin though when i got the comp. Or maybe i did. Maybe you can help refresh my memory hehe. Thanks in advance.

Did you install Windows ME or did it come pre-installed? Windows 98/Me doesn't come installed with system policies by default. Whoever installed it must have installed system policies.
I think you can view the policies under system tools. Unless it's different in Windows Me than in 98.

Hi,
You could try installing this shareware application called Protectz.
http://www.matcode.com/protectz.exe
Once you've installed it, start it up, and click on the "Additionals" button at the top of the screen. This should bring up another window with two rows of check-boxes. The last box, on the right-hand side, will say "Disable registry editing". This box will be checked on your system, so just remove the checkmark, save, and close out of the program.
You should now be able to run your Registry Editor.
Good Luck
Columbo
