Unlocking Regedit

You would have already seen that most of the Windows hacks require access to the Registry Editor. If you are trying out these hacks in a school, office or a similar place, you might come across locked Regedit. You can even cross this barrier by following these steps:

1. Open Windows folder in C:
2. Delete file user.dat or system.dat (on Windows 98). Reboot.
3. When a message reporting error in Windows Registry appears, don't press OK, give the three-finger-salute (Ctrl-Alt-Del).
4. All restrictions will be removed.

Now go on with your tweaking Windows!
