Competent network admin will correct the issue if that's the case.

If it's disabled by network admin through GPO then those edits won't work.

Hi,
Copy and paster the following text into notepad (Between the lines only)

----------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000
"**del.DisableTaskMgr"=" "

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DisableCAD"=dword:00000000

----------------------

Save the file as TaskEnable.reg and run the file

All should be well

Regards

John

it is a common "evil" spyware tactic to cause Task Manager to fail to
load; if pressing cntrl-shift-escape causes task manager to briefly flash
then go away then that is your issue. reboot to safe mode and scan it,
and good luck - the evil ones can be hard to eradicate.

Spyware or a virus are the usual causes.

You need to be more specific. Do you mean that from Start | Run | Regedit |
ok, it will not run? If that's the case coupled with task manager not
working, it's likely some sort of malware. See these links for removal
tips.

Here is the reg file you need to create & run to unlock regedit/enable Task
Manager:

============================

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Enable Reg Tools (Current User)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
; Enable Task Manager
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000
; Enable Reg Tools (All Users)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Syste
m]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000

===============================

Paste the above (between the lines) into notepad
Click File | SaveAs
In Filename surround name by double quotes. Example: "Unlock.reg"
In the File Types choose All Files & click Save

Now, run the file & say yes or ok to if you want to enter this info in the
regsitry & then click OK to the confirmation dialog

Please note:

The lines that start with ';' are comment lines & won't be entered into the
registry, but are 100% safe to be in there

I hope this helps,

Look at the other thread you posted to. I replied to that one. If you
can't find a post search for it using Google groups advanced search,
searching in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general on your name as author.
