Today I unfortunately affected by some unknown virus. My Windows XP's face a terrible problem. The "Folder Options" in "Tools" menu is not visible. Even It can't be accessed from Control Panel. Then I tried the Registry Editor to change the registry values which is assigned for enable/disable the Folder Options. But my fate, "Registry Editor" is also disabled. I screwed on that problem.
So I used the Googling to overcome my problem. I summarized all the steps that I tried for this enable/disable Registry Editor problem.
Step 1 :


Option Explicit
'Declare variables
Dim WSHShell, rr, rr2, MyBox, val, val2, ttl, toggle
Dim jobfunc, itemtype

On Error Resume Next

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
val = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"

val2 = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"

itemtype = "REG_DWORD"
jobfunc = "Registry Editing Tools are now "
ttl = "Result"

'reads the registry key value.
rr = WSHShell.RegRead (val)
rr2 = WSHShell.RegRead (val2)

toggle=1
If (rr=1 or rr2=1) Then toggle=0

If toggle = 1 Then
     WSHShell.RegWrite val, 1, itemtype
     WSHShell.RegWrite val2, 1, itemtype
     Mybox = MsgBox ( jobfunc & "disabled.", 4096, ttl)
Else
     WSHShell.RegDelete val
     WSHShell.RegDelete val2
     Mybox = MsgBox ( jobfunc & "enabled.", 4096, ttl)
End If


Copy this codes and save it as a .vbs file.

Step 2 :
Now double click on that file. Now your registry can be editable. That is Registry Editor is enable.

So this is the simple step to enable/disable the registry editor.
