Registry Editor problem

Got a virus on my computer and part of the procedure to remove it requires me
to go into the registry. But when I type regedit it says that the registry
editor was disabled by my administrator.

I am the only one using this system. I tried going from Safe Mode and also
copying regedit.exe to regedit.com, but the same message comes up.
How can I get into the registry?

This is one way this virus works. Identify the
virus and look for its specific solution.
