Mood: All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing
One for the IT experts
For some reason I am unable to access Task Manager (Win XP) using the ctrl-alt-del route. When I do this I get the message "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator". Funny that cos I'm the administrator!
Try as I might I cannot for the life of me see how to turn it back on. Anybody help here?
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies \System Name: DisableTaskMgr Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1=Enablethis key, that is DISABLE TaskManager Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager
As part of the enhanced management available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, rather than risking a registry change, as an administrator you can enable or disable Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro's TaskManager using Group Policy Editor. This can be applied to the local policy. Note: if you are trying to override your organizations group policy, you can't. As soon as you re-authenticate to the domain, the domain or OU Group Policy will rewrite the registry setting. But if the TaskManager was accidently disabled or you need to control this item for a set of standalone boxes this is for you:
Click Start Click Run Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK In the Group Policy settings window Select User Configuration Select Administrative Templates Select System Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options Select Remove Task Manager Double-click the Remove Task Manager option And as I mentioned above, since the policy is Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.

There is no Group Editor (gpedit) in XP Home...
That would explain that one then! Still no further forward cos I am DAMN sure I didn't disable TAsk Manager, and nobody else has access to admin rights! F*****N Winders
