Registry access denied

[rogla]

Everytime i right cklick in Windows Explorer, a dialog shows up diplaying "Registry access denied". How can I get rid of it?

I get this when loged in as Administartor also. I vave looked at the permisions in regedit32 under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\....] and as far I can see it looks ok. (But when looking at the permisions in regedit32, the Administrator got the message "You only have permission to view the current security information in Explorer". I don't understund why, maybe it's required to use a special utility to change permissions).

I can't see any obvious error messages in the Event Viewer. The only error I can se is:
"The KLIF service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified."

If this is related to the "Registry access denied", how can I track down which file is missing?

But my primary question is how to get rid of the "Registry access denied" dialog.

Hoping for help/

Hi rogla, welcome to Virtual Dr

In your Amin account, go to Regedt32, and select HK_Local_Machine, then in Security>Permissions, make sure that the Administrator Group has "Full control" and "Read" permissions set in the "Allow" column. Do the same for HK_Current_User.

Thanks SuperSparks!

The Administrator doesn't have permission to change Security>Permissions in regedit32. Wounder how to enable the permission to change permision in registry with regedit32...

Hi I found i got this when i downloaded zipx for windows. try looking back at how long you have had the problem then try uninstalling any freeware you downloaded just before this time.

It may be also a sign of some infection.

Nah it's not an infection more then likely. When I saw the above post I uninstalled ZipX and it went away.

Since I could not find an edit botton, I want to however apologize for bumpin' an old thread. I was having this problem and this thread was in the top search results, so I don't want other people being misinformed by seeing that it might be an infection or permissions problem. That didn't fix my problem because I already had mine set! ZipX uninstall removed the error though.
