Disable Registry Editor Using VB Script

As you know that Registry Editor is a gate that can change the all your Windows registry value. It means if somebody want to destroy your Windows XP just open Registry Editor and change the important. So I want to share the trick to disable or enable Registry Editor with one click…

There are so many tricks to enable / disable Registry Editor but I think this trick is easy enough to do that although we need to writing a script to first time but after your script has done then it’s be easier, we will use the Visual Basic Script language here.

OK, follow this trick:
1. Open Notepad (or your favorite text editor) to type the script via Start – Run menu and type notepad in textbox then click OK button or press Enter
key.

2. And type the script like this:

Dim otakatik
ManageRegedit()
Sub ManageRegedit()
Set otakatik=WScript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
describe="Type 0 or 1 : " & VbCrLf &_
             "[0] -> Enable Regedit." & VbCrLf &_
             "[1] -> Disable Regedit."

question=InputBox(describe, "Edit Regedit",0)
otakatik.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" &_
                        "\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools",question,"REG_DWORD"

If question=1 Then
   MsgBox "Registry is disabled.",VbInformation, "Disabled"
Else
   If question=0 Then
      Msgbox "Registry is enabled.",VbInformation, "Enabled"
      otakatik.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" &_
                                "\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
   Else
      Msgbox "Input 0 or 1 only !",VbInformation, "Wrong Input"
      ManageRegedit()
   End If
End If
End Sub

You can copy and paste to your notepad.

3. Save it, click File – Save As.

4. Change Save As Type to All Files and give it the name regedit.vbs (or whatever you want but the extension has to vbs).

5. Then make sure that you have the right file name format, you can see it on Notepad title bar.

6. Open your folder that containing regedit.vbs file.

7. Double click that file and Edit Regedit window will opened.

8. If you fill the textbox with value 0, Registry Editor will enable to open.

9. But if you fill it with value 1,

Registry Editor will disable to open.

10. Now, try to open your Registry Editor and you will get a notification that Registry Editor is disabled.
