Competent network admin will correct the issue if that's the case.

If it's disabled by network admin through GPO then those edits won't work.

Hi,
Copy and paster the following text into notepad (Between the lines only)

----------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

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

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

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

----------------------

Save the file as TaskEnable.reg and run the file

All should be well

Regards

it is a common "evil" spyware tactic to cause Task Manager to fail to
load; if pressing cntrl-shift-escape causes task manager to briefly flash
then go away then that is your issue. reboot to safe mode and scan it,
and good luck - the evil ones can be hard to eradicate.

Thanx Tons !! Does anybody have any idea why and how task manger gets
"disabled ?
