Task Manager disabled!

[Guest]

I am using Windows XP home edition and every time it push Ctrl, Alt, Delete
to start the task manager I get a message that says my task manager has been
disabled by my administrator. I have tried to start it from the task bar by
right clicking and I can see "task manager" in the options but it is shaded
gray instead of black so I cannot click on it. I have looked everywhere on
the computer to try to find out how to enable the task manager once again but
am having no luck. Any suggestions? By the way, my husband has a seperate
log in page on the same computer and his task manager works just fine!
Thanks a bunch in advance.
