task manager disabled

[Guest]

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?
