Can't edit registry

[SiLVerBuRn]

When I go to run and type regedit, it says Registry editing has been disabled by the administrator, and i'm logged into the administrator acct.

What has gone wrong?

CRAP Now I cant even open task manager....PLEASE HELP.

[John Prophet]

tried system restore?

[SiLVerBuRn]

Got it...Thanks for the link muno. I tried it after all. I dunno WTF program added those keys, I sure didn't.

[SiLVerBuRn]

...but now, every time I reboot it does it again. I have to keep running that script and deleting the other entry for the task manager.

I've run SB: S&D and a full NSW system scan, but it didn't fix it.
