TASK MANAGER IS DISABLED :(

[Chetan Thaker]

hey hi ppl

well, i always login as adminstrator (as a matter of fact,
even rite now)

well, the problem is that since the past 1 week, when i say
CTRL+ALT+DEL , my TASK MANAGER button is grayed out

when i press SHIFT+CTRL+ESC, it says "task manager has beed
disabled by your adminstrator..."

how do i get access to task manager ??

and one more thing

a friend of mine has forgotten his administrator password,
is there any way to get it or reset it or sumthin ?? he
doesnt want to format the HDD and all

Use the Group policy editor
%windir%\system32\gpedit.msc
User Config\Admin Templates\System\Ctrl+Alt+Del Options|Remove Task
Manager="Not Configured"

(it's usually spyware/ junkware that sets this Reg_Dword decimal value to 1)
DisableTaskMgr
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

I've heard you could only use it like 500 times. Have you surpassed your limit?

hehe
Just kidding
Dave is a very reliable resource.
