Posted on October 6, 2007 by PakNik
This two methods I discovered on Ramesh’s troubleshooting Windows site - windowsxp.mvps.org.
First method
Type this command in Run box and press Ok.
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Second method
Using Group Policy editor. Once again in the Run box, type gpedit.msc and press Ok. Go to User Configuration-Administrative Templates-System, double click Disable registry editing tools and set it to Not Configured. Exit Group Policy editor.

@ Dr ahmadi - Dear Dr, you may try and download a vb script by Doug Knox to enable back your registry editor. Please go to http://www.dougknox.com/security/scripts_desc/regtools.htm
right click the link and be sure to save it as regtools.vbs
Hope this method work for you. After you have downloaded regtool.vbs, just double-click the file you download and your Registry Editor should be working.
