Thanks Larry! I tried but it says the function has been disabled by the
administrator. I am the sole administrator of this personal machine. Would it
have anything to do with MS .NET framework 1.1 that I've installed a few days
back, now that I recall.

Most likely it could be the sasser worm since you did not update.

Hi

Run gpedit.msc from RUN button. Then go to User configuration\administrative
templates\system\ctrl+alt+del option. Check if remove task manager is enabled.
