Ctrl-Alt-Del to get the Task Manager and then New Task.

i tried cntrl-alt-delete but it shows task mgr has been disabled by your
adminintrator, when i click ok it goes back to desktop background of a
picture of congressional country club, so i guess there is no way i can get
in to run prgs to clear this problem.

Run these cleaners via Safe Mode:

Sypware Cleaners that WORK!

Line 393 - Right Hand Side: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Or see: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm#spy
*Note: Update all (except HijackThis) before using.

Download them from another system and copy to either a pen drive or burn to
CD.
Ad-Aware will help you with the restriction(s) without being updated. Once
you have cleaned your system, boot into Normal mode, update the programs and
run the cleaners again.

How to boot into Safe Mode:

You need to hit F8 during boot, just after the BIOS info switches to black
screen. Or...

Go to Start/Run/Msconfig. Boot.Ini and check off /SafeBoot. Apply/Ok,
reboot.
Note: Before leaving safe mode, revert.

Another option: Add Safe Mode to the Boot Screen

Use as an example/guideline: Go to Start/Run and type in: C:\boot.ini and
copy/add what you want (Safe Mode or with Command Prompt), then save,
reboot.

Normal, Safe Mode and Command Prompt.

Try booting in safe mode, then run as administrator.
I assume you do have administrator rights.
