Unhappy Windows Task Manager Disable
When I am trying to open Windows Task Manager it will show error "Task Manager has been disable by your administrator". I am the administrator of my computer.
Is it a virus attack? Can anyone helped me out?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I am Using windows XP service pack 2.
Thanks

I also have XP (SP3), and my Task Manager is enabled, so I don't find these entries in MY registry, but check out the solution in http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kba...XPHomePro.html and let me know if it works.

If the above doesn't work, try these two reg files: #1 #2. Save them to your desktop and double click on them to merge them to your regsitry. Try one at the time and see if it works. You may have to reboot to see the changes.
