How to oversome this "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator"

Most of you while in your college during lab sessions wanted to fiddle around with the registry but always got this error message "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator", there is little you can do to enable it unless that PC is using Group Policy Editor.To do that follow these steps:

Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the Search box, and press ENTER.
A window will open.
Go to the following branch:
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
Double-click Prevent access to registry editing tools(scroll down a bit for that).
Set it as Not Configured and it's done.

Note: If it's already set to Not Configured, set it to Enabled and click Apply. Then repeat the steps and revert the setting back to Not Configured. This removes the registry based policy if set already.
So now you can do some research work on your Lab PCs when your teacher is not around :)
