followed by WIN2000/XP. Because the concept of 2000/XP is added to the design, there are 2 ways to open Registry Editor in these 2 systems.

This is mainly because the use of Win98/me objects are ordinary stand-alone users, do not need to restrict permissions, this point and nt/2000/xp is very different.
Open method:

When you select a key value, edit the Drop-down menu to see an option----permissions, with the mouse click this option will appear a new window.
