Regedit and command prompt is disabled

rosnan · 11-16-2007, 05:21 AM

My workplace has a network where the server OS is win 2003 sp1 and the client is win 2000 pro. When I want to open the registry using regedit, I have an alert saying that it has been disabled by the administrator. How can this happen when I am the administrator. The same happen when I use the cmd command.

If you really are an admin you can open up gpedit.msc and check if regedit and cmd is disabled there (an other admin or a virus can have disabled them.)

So you are another admin on the system and one of the other admin's disabled it?

It could be a virus... I've seen viruses mess with these settings. And if the gpedit setting is set to disable something, then it is disabled for all users, even the administrator(s).
