Task Manager is gone

[E'beth]

My task manager is no longer showing up, and I can't find
it through any other means. The only place it shows up is
when I use find and search for it, and then it's a class
file and my computer can't open it. How did this happen
and what do I do? My ctrl-alt-del does nothing right now.
