password protect task manager

[Guest]

I am using XP home edition. I run a parental control program to limit the
time my son is on the computer. My son figured out that he can go into 'task
manager' and shut off the process that limits his time. If anyone knows how I
can keep him out of 'task manager' I would be most appreciative.

You would have to authenticate as him to make this work, but apply the
following in the registry.. Be very careful though; Change here can be
dangerous.


Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1=Enablethis key, that is DISABLE TaskManager
Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager

If you find that any part of the key doesn't exist, then you need to create
that part too.

Isn't that what I just said??

And why would he want to disable the whole machine's task manager by putting
a key in local machine?? Surely its just his son he wants to restrict.
