    idea How do i Enable task manager

    Hey Friends,

    I would like to know that how do i enable my task manager on my system. Whenever i press Ctrl+Alt+Del keys an error message pop-ups stating that the task manager has been disabled. Can any one tell me that how do i enable my task manager? Does any one have any idea that how can i do so? Any suggestion on this would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    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 Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.

    In Windows XP Home - use the registry edit.

    Click Start -> Run. Type in "regedit" (no quotes) and hit Enter.

    Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ System.

    Look for: DisableTaskMgr. Click on REG_DWORD. Value: 1=Enable this key (disables TaskManager); Value: 0=Disable (actually enables TaskManager)

    Close RegEdit.

    Then Reboot your machine.
