If you don’t know what you’re doing in the Registry, you can mess up your computer pretty good. Today we show you how to prevent users from accessing the Registry and making any changes to it.

Using Local Group Policy Editor

1. First type gpedit.msc into the Search box in the Start menu.
   
   
   
   
   
2. When Group Policy Editor opens, navigate to User Configuration \ Administrative Templates then select System. Under Setting in the right panel double-click on Prevent access to registry editing tools.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Select the radio button next to Enabled, click OK, then close out of Group Policy Editor.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Now if a user tries to access the Registry… they will be refusedaccess to it.
