enabling task manager

I try to execute commands CTRL+ALT+DEL to display the Task Manager and a message is dispalyed telling that the task manager has been disabled by the administrator.

So how can i enabling it.

 

The following (from kellys korner) are registry points to check and make sure they're all zeros:

Code:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
 "DisableTaskMgr "=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
 "DisableTaskMgr "=dword:00000000
 "**del.DisableTaskMgr "="  "

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
 "DisableTaskMgr "=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\]
 "DisableTaskMgr "=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
 "DisableCAD "=dword:00000000

 

Thanks sparrow but when i try to open the registry(start-run-regedit) a message is diplayed telling that the Regedit has been disabled by Administrator.

So how can i proceed?

 

There are several options.

Run regedit in safe mode as administrator. Be sure you choose to back up the registry and also make a restore point before you begin, just to be safe, and do the same after the changes are make and tried.

Or you can copy the contents of the 'code' above to notepad (ONLY - don't use any other editor) and save as a file with the .reg extention. Then dbl-clk the file and run it.

If that doesn't work, there's a fix for a disabled regedit at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm. Page down to 213 on the left, save the contents as a .reg file and run it as above.

Using mozilla, you can rt-clk the underlined text and choose 'save contents as' and note where the .reg file will be. It will contain the text as above and just run it as directed previously.

 

Is this a personal home computer or is it one you are using at work? If the latter, you'll have to talk to whoever is the administrator. Which is it?
