    You need to login as administrator?? -- But i am administrator

    Hi,
    I am using windows xp SP2 home edition.
    I am the administrator on my PC. But i keep getting this error messages
    saying that i need to login as administrator on my PC to disable some of the
    start up services. Also i am not able to access task manager and regedit.
    I think there is some virus on my PC. but i am not able to find it with
    McAfee or Norton Antivirus.

    Is there any that i can handle this issue with out fomatting my PC, as i
    have already fomatted my PC twice.

    thanks in advance,
    murthy

    It certainly sounds like you may have some malware since you can't access
    task manager or regedit. Since you didn't really give us any information
    about your computer, its recent history, or what services you want to
    disable, I can only give you this general malware removal advice:

    You don't have both McAfee and Norton installed, do you? That certainly
    could cause a great deal of problems on your system, but it wouldn't
    disable regedit/task manager.

    Why have you formatted your computer twice? Are you continually getting
    infected? See these links for how to stay safe on the Internet:

    Murthy,

    The registry key used to disable Task Manager... is a olicy key found here:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    DisableTaskMgr
    ....
