registry editor
I try to open regedit in RUN, but the windows shows a message said that registry editing has been disabled by administrator. I'm administrator, how to enable it? I'm using Windows XP Professional SP1.

This string has to be changed in the registry.
Some spyware can cause this. You may need to download a registry tweaker to actually get in to change the values.

Catch 22 ? ... methinks last time I got this I had to log into 'safe mode' as 'THE administrator' (the built in account not one with administrator privaleges) .. or did I have to do it from prompt ? ...try safemode, if not there are ways to do it from console, but my befuddled memory can't work that bit out just yet ... its early for me !
Its also 'common' for pre-installed systems to come this way to stop/limit 'tinkering' ....
