 Regedit Disabled in Win98 - 2007/12/31 14:47 Win 98 SE, policy editor in effect which keeps me from accessing hard drive, run command, network neighborhood, regedit, control panel, EVERYTHING! No CD drive to re-install windows. On a network, but can't access any network drives due to poledit. I'm caught in a loop. How can I get past this to start all over? I would love to FDISK and reinstall, but I only have Win 98 on CD . . . and no CD drive! HELP!

 Re:Regedit Disabled in Win98 - 2007/12/31 14:50 Save the following as delpol.reg:

---cut---
Code:

 REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies]


---cut---

Reboot into safe mode (hit F8 when booting) and run the file to erase all policies in effect on the system.

Alternatively, boot to command prompt (F5) and enter:
Code:

 regedit /D HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
regedit /D HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies



You should back up your registry before performing the above sequence:

Code:

 cd \windows
regedit /L:system.dat /R:user.dat /E Full.reg



Good luck!

If you mess up you can restore the old registry with:
Code:

 cd \windows
regedit /L:system.dat /R:user.dat /C Full.reg
