Cannot access Taskmgr

[just bob]

I have a guy who is admin on his own Vista Ultimate machine but Task Manger
is not an option when he presses Ctrl+Alt+Del. And when he tried to run
taskmgr.exe at the command line it tells him task manager has been disabled
by the administrator. Huh?

What is going on and how to I allow him to run task manager?

Thanks!

Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/taskmanager_error.htm

See Methods 2, 3 and 4 which should work in Vista.

Importantly, follow-up with complete system scan for Malware.

Lavasoft Ad-Aware, for starters. Also, you need a good Anti-Virus. I use Grisoft AVG.
