"Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator."

[Guest]

I have a Toshiba Satellite. XP Home Edition, Service Pack 1. When logged on,
with account set for Administrator, whenever I Ctrl-Alt-Del, Task Manager
won't come up, instead I get the message in the above subject. Right-click
on toolbar, and Task Manager is greyed out. Also, located taskmgr.exe,
checked properties, and it doesn't have a Security tab.

Since I am using the Administrator account, how do I re-enable Task Manager??

I didn't disable, although I am not the only one who uses this computer. But
others have said they didn't disable either.
One note: I was able to create another administrator account, and Task
Manager was available in the new account.

Im not sure if this will work, but try putting the taskmgr.exe from the
account that works on a floppy/cd/flashdisk, and replace the one on the other
account.

This probably won't work, since both accounts SHOULD be accessing the same
file, but its worth a shot.
