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!)

Creating your account only takes a few minutes. Join Now So I get this error when trying to add a dword or even change a value in a key under hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\services\x1 When I look at the effective permissions, I have full control and I am the owner of the key. If error writing I check the next key under "services," I can edit the values and add values under it. But, for some reason, I can't edit this key for the particular software on a couple of machines. So if I have full control and I'm the owner, is there something else that could be locking this key? The permissions are identical with the next key in hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\services so I'm not sure what I am missing.
