There are three ways I know of to run regedit, which is probably what you want. You can do any one of these:

  1. Click Start and type in to the search box (Win 7) "regedit" and press enter. If you are using an earlier system like XP, you will need to click Start then click "Run..." to type it in.
  2. Click start and find Command Prompt (CMD.exe). Launch that, then type this exact string in: "start "" regedit" and press enter.
  3. Open Windows Explorer and browse to C:\Windows\System32 and find and run one of the following: regedit.exe regedt32.exe or regedt64.exe
If none of these work, then you may need to read and edit through CMD, using the "reg" command. If so, type"reg /?" into Command Prompt to get started.

If you have the administrative rights on a domain why would you get an access denied error when you try to access the registry?

Depending on the Operating System, there are 'level' of administrative rights. You may have a level which allows many things like adding users, installing applications and such, but not deep enough access to alter system files, such as would happen in the registry. If you have an authentice reasone to use the registry, contact your lead admin and have them include you in the registry editors group (or whatever they call it at your work)
