Task manager disabled by administrator

[Guest]

When I try to open Task Manager I get the error"Task manager disabled by
administrator"

I tried the fix in the community written KB, but a registry key it refered
to (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software]Microsoft\windows\currentversion\group
policy\object\localuser\software\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\system

was not in my registry. Perhaps the KB had a typo, I am the only user on my
laptop, and don't know how this happened. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated.

Thank!
