If you’re always using the registry editor to edit the settings of your computer then you must have encountered this message ”Registry Editing has been disabled by your administrator” when you run the regedit command. One reason for this might be that the administrator has disabled this tool or it might also caused by the virus which is the common reason.

The difference between the 2 processors is the speed. Obviously, a 64 bit processor can process much more data quicker compare to a 32 bit processor.

When it comes to operating system, a 64 bit OS can only be used on a 64-bit processor. On the other hand the 32-bit OS can be used for both 32-bit and 64-bit processors.

So, how do you know if you have a 32-bit / 64-bit processor or OS ? Here’s how

1. Click the Start Menu
2. Click “All Programs”
3. Click “Accessories then System Tools”
4. Click on System Information

Now Look on the OS name and Processor at the right side. If you see “x86″ then you have a 32-bit processor and if it is ia64 or AMD64 then you have a 64-bit processor. Obviously, you have a 64-bit operating system / processor if you have Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition installed on your system.
