That key is created by parasites to avoid being detected via the
taskmanager.. if your computer has not been infected, the
key will probably not exist. In the Windows Pro Edition creating
the registry key with its value and setting it to 1 disables the taskmanager
for the current user member of the administrators group, it does not
affect the default administrator. For Windows XP Professional,
there's a way to disable the taskmanger for users via the Group
Policy Editor but that is not available in the Home Edition.
For Home edition your only option is to edit the registry key in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
Current Version\Policies\ in the right pane right click on the
empty space and select New Key, rename the new key to System,
select System and in the right pane, right click and select new
DWORD Value, rename the DWORD value to DisableTaskMgr...
double click on it and type 1 to disable the taskmanager.
I am not sure if this will disable the taskmngr for users in the Home
Edition so I cannot make any guarantee.
Be adviced that editing the registry could damage your computer
if you get overconfident, you should avoid editing the registry unless
you really know what you are doing and follow these steps closely.

I am running the Home Edition and have more than one user.
Will this enable/disable all users or is there some way to
disable users other than the administrator.
Thanks in advance!
