If regedit has been disabled there are a few methods to use to re-enable it.
- Click Start button and then type gpedit.msc in the Search Programs and Files box and press the Enter key. The Local Group Policy Editor window should open. Expand User Configuration>Administrative Templates>and highlight System. In the right pane open (double click) 'Prevent access to registry editing tools'. Set it to Disabled. Click Ok. Log off Windows and log back on. Now try running regedit from the Search Programs and Files box.
- For this you will need the Run box to be visible. If it is not, do the following to enable it: Right click on the Start button> click Customize button> scroll down until you see checkbox for 'Run Command'. Put check in the box. Click Ok. Now that the Run box is available off the Start Menu do the following: Copy paste the text in bold (all of it) into the Run box and click Ok. REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 if prompted value DisableRegistryTools exists, overwrite (Y/N)? Type yes and hit Enter. Next, copy and paste the text in bold into the run box and click Ok. REG add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 if prompted value DisableRegistryTools exists, overwrite (Y/N)? Type yes and hit Enter. Now type regedit in the Run box and click ok. Regedit should open.
However, it is possible that regedit is disabled by group policy. If so, you can not change that. Consult your administrator.
