I'm on Windows 10 Pro x64 and I can edit the value. Right click on Advanced and choose "Permissions". Click your user name and make sure you have full permissions: If you don't, try allowing yourself full control (if the boxes are available). If they're greyed out like in my screenshot, but you don't have full access, you can try to take ownership of the object by clicking Advanced Then next to Owner click Change: Type your username into the box and then press Check Names. Press Okay, then before you press Okay again make sure the following is selected: share|improve this answer answered Oct 15 '15 at 3:43 Insane 1,72621235 Thanks for answering, but I still have this problem, I did everything but I can't. –Miguel Hernandez Oct 15 '15 at 4:12 What do you mean did everything?

mistake on Windows Vista, but even so I had a hard time finding the solution on Google so I thought I'd post about it. When I was trying to add a key in the Registry Editor, regedit.exe, I got an error message saying "Cannot create value: Error writing to the registry."I have never seen this on XP (but then again I don't edit the registry that often), but since this is Vista with UAC (User Account Control) I thought it might have to do with permissions so I tried to run regedit.exe as Administrator but to no avail. Finally I figured out that I did not have the right permissions in the registry tree.The solution is simply to right click on the folder and select Permissions. You may not even have the right to change the permissions, if this is the case then first you have to take ownership - click Advanced and then the Owner tab. Funny thing about my folder is that the owner was a group called "TrustedInstaller". After I had taken ownership, I wanted to change it back to the "TrustedInstaller" group but it was nowhere to be found. Apparently you can't change it back - it is not a group but a service and part of Windows Resource Protection (WRP) as noted by Richard Civil and others in this TechNet post. Two other useful newbie things I found out - thanks to this post by Tim Sneath of Microsoft - when trying to figure out how to run a regedit.exe as Administrator in Vista was this: Run from the XP Start menu is now replaced with Start Search bar in Vista. Simply type regedit.exe (or cmd.exe etc.) in the search bar and hit Enter and it will run. To run an application with Administrator privileges using this method, instead of hitting Enter you hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter. 19 Comments (Click here to add your comment!)

I guess I'm so used to Outlook telling me when it needs to restart that it didn't occur to me there would be a case where it wouldn't tell me. Anonymous Jan 02, 2008 @ 22:50:00 This was very useful.
