Unable to acces the registry win XP

When I type in regedit in run it just says that it's been disabled by the administrator, but my account is the administator:angry:

I can't changed it with gpedit.msc as well because that seems to have disappeared:angry:

I got a virus this morning and it's infectecting my files in system32. I did the malwaresbytes scan this morning and it found loads of infections but it needs access to the registry but I'm locked out of it :angry:

Is there any other way of changing the access rights?

I'm using windows XP :dry:

Download Lavasoft's RegHance, look for "DisableRegistryTools" and delete it, or set it to 0.

*Run Trojan Remover,after scanning with an AV like NAV,ESET or Kaspersky.TR will remove any registry restrictions :)

I've done this idea but it still says Admin has disabled it :angry:

Am I suppose to restart my computer first :unsure:

Then the malware is probably resident in memory and has disabled Regedit once again. Try this:
