How do you enable Registry Editing again if it has been disabled by your administrator?

A way to get into the registry editor if its been disabled, heres how you do it:

1. Disable as much as you can from your startup. Remove programs from your startup folder and such, so as not to lag down the bootup process.

2.Create a new shortcut on your desktop, point it to "C:\Windows\regedit.exe"

3.Log off, then log back on

4.As soon as you see your desktop, double click on the shortcut. The system does not check for policies until a few seconds after it booted up. If you click on the icon fast enough, it should let you get in.

After that, do all you need. After you close it though, it will not open unless you redo step 3 and 4.

There's one vbs script to enable the registry editing. and below is the link.

W32/Brontok-C may arrive attached with a filename randomly chosed from the following :

winword.exe kangen.exe ccapps.exe syslove.exe untukmu.exe myheart.exe my heart.exe jangan dibuka.exe

The email is sent with a blank subject line and the following message text :

-- Hentikan kebobrokan di negeri ini -- 1. Penjarakan Koruptor, Penyelundup, Tukang Suap, & Bandar NARKOBA ( Send to "NUSAKAMBANGAN") 2. Stop Free Sex, Aborsi, & Prostitusi ( Go To HELL ) 3. Stop pencemaran lingkungan, pembakaran hutan & perburuan liar. 4. SAY NO TO DRUGS !!! -- KIAMAT SUDAH DEKAT -- Terinspirasi oleh: Elang Brontok (Spizaetus Cirrhatus) yang hampir punah By: HVM31 -- JowoBot #VM Community -- !!! Akan Kubuat Mereka (VM lokal yg cengeng & bodoh) Terkapar !!!

When first run W32/Brontok-C copies itself to:

\Local Settings\Application Data\csrss.exe \Local Settings\Application Data\inetinfo.exe \Local Settings\Application Data\lsass.exe \Local Settings\Application Data\services.exe \Local Settings\Application Data\smss.exe \Local Settings\Application Data\winlogon.exe \Empty.pif \Templates\Brengkolang.com \ShellNew\sempalong.exe \eksplorasi.exe \repclient1's Setting.scr

W32/Brontok-C will create a remote task in the following location in order to run a copy of itself on a daily basis to maintain infection :

\Tasks\At1.job

W32/Brontok-C attempts to download files from a remote website to the following location :

\Local Settings\Application Data\ListHost11.txt \Local Settings\Application Data\Update.11.Bron.Tok.bin

At the time of writing these files were unavailable from the remote website. The following registry entries are created to run W32/Brontok-C on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Tok-Cirrhatus \Local Settings\Application Data\smss.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Bron-Spizaetus \ShellNew\sempalong.exe

The following registry entry is changed to run eksplorasi.exe on startup:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Shell Explorer.exe "\eksplorasi.exe"

(the default value for this registry entry is "Explorer.exe" which causes the Microsoft file \Explorer.exe to be run on startup).

The following registry entry is set, disabling the registry editor (regedit):

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System DisableRegistryTools 1

Registry entries are set as follows:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer NoFolderOptions 1

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System DisableCMD 0

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced Hidden 0

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced HideFileExt 1
