when I press ctrl-alt-del, i get an error that says 'task manager has been
disabled by your administrator'. i cannot find anything on the windows
knowledge base re disabling task manager. also, I only have one user on my
home pc, and it is the admin. anyone know how to turn it back on?
 
Try installing xp cd,exit the info page,then go to run,type:cmd In cmd
type:Sfc /Scannow When its thru type:CHKDSK C: /F Agree to restart,
then type:EXIT Remove cd,restart computer.
 
It's usually spyware/ junkware that sets this Reg_Dword decimal value to 1
Set it to 0

DisableTaskMgr
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
