Looked at it, it is set to "Not Configured". Should I set it to "disabled"?

Have you tried logging in via the Administrator account and trying that?

I would go the backroute and log on as admin as devoted2christ said then go to
www.voodoofiles.com and do a search for xteq. Download the xteq file tweak tool and turn on registry edit capability. I will post again with specific details but have to check myself to see if it is possible. I am pretty sure it was a option.

You could try unlocking the registry with this reg file: Just log on as administrator.
+++++++++++ Cut below +++++++++++++++++++
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
+++++++++++ Cut Above and Save in Notepad as a .REG FILE +++++++++++

Download this Lite version of this registry editor and find the following key and change the DWORD value to a 0

You open it then run a search for " DisableRegistryTools " and change the 1 to a 0 anywhere you find it.

find the regedt32.exe file and check the security permissions. You can take ownership as administrator.

Gem that needs to be a "0" like your reg file example. A 1 disables registry editing. The key can be deleted since by default it don't exist.

Just thought of this since you can't import a reg file do it from vbs. I just experimented with it and it worked.
Copy all starting with 'Enable Registry Editing and save to a text file and call it EnableRegistryEdit.vbs
Of course you need to have scripting enabled.
Then simply double click and it will delete that value from registry.
