What version of windows are you using?
That registry editing has been disabled can be a sign of a virus infection. It might be a good idea to scan your computer with an up to date anti virus program.
You can also try an online AV scanner like Kaspersky.

Download Hijackthis and post a logfile.
That way a specialist like Chris (CBMatt) can take a look at it.

[Spoiler]

go to a command line and type

gpedit.msc

and hit enter

A window should open and look in the list for User Configuration and than below it look for Administrator Templates and than System.

Once that is open look on the list on the right side of the screen and find the line that says....

Prevent access to the registry editing tools        double click it and than set it to disable.  After close all the windows.

The registry editing should now work.

Note: Windows XP Home Edition does not have gpedit.msc
