You might have to disabled any antivirus because it will say its harmful but its not.

I know this thread is really old, but I'm having the same problem. I tried using the vbs script, and I got an error that said 'Invalid root in registry key'. I checked the registry with a program called reg3dit.exe, and DisableRegistryTools was there. Why am I getting that error?
it's done by a policy in most cases. This is the KB article describing it.

the key might be slightly different. And the fact that you are bassing that on the return of a VBS script is pretty sad. Do it by hand. If you need another tool, then download a tool called reg.exe from Microsoft. it's a query tool from NT4 days. You run something like reg.exe query HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
and it will return the values in that key. Then you do an export to a .reg file and edit the dword value from 1 to 0.
it's very simple to do.
Don't give up after 1 try. You have to have more stubbornness than that.
if you need more help, I'll keep an eye out.
