Well, you see. I tried to press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" and something popped up and said Task Manager has been disabled by your administator. That's all fine and dandy but I don't know how I did it. Does anyone know how I can undisable my task manager?

How can you undisable it.. erm.. you can right click on your toolbar somewhere, and then click task bar. Then try to find somewhere to undisable it, I guess.

Someone move this to Technology, please.

Anyways, that use to sort of happen to me accept the task manager would show for less than a second and then automatically close. It was a virus.

Moved to Technology

Aghhhh I have the same problem! Roar. * tries toopen it* nope.

I was sure I had it in the right ...catagory...grrr...I'll get it right someday. Sorry.
...
I don't think I have a virus cause I've been scanning my computer for days and no virus.

try to right click on the task bar and click Task Manager and see what that does

Look in your control panel..

i searched through the control panel and couldnt find anything on it....

I think you need to sign in to an account that has "administrator" privleges. Once you do that try to open Task Manager, and look around the settings. If you don't see a toolbar or anything just double-click the Task Manager.

I tried right clicking on the toolbar and it won't let me click on Task Mangaer.
Control panal doesn't have anything.
I tried to log in to administrator privledges but...I only have one account thing.
....
help lol

*edit*
I looked in user accounts and the one I am logged into is the computer administrator so...now what?

start > run > type in "gpedit.msc"

under "user configuration" - > "administrative template" -> "system" - > "ctrl alt del options", I think, something like that.

there should be the task manager removal option. See if that's where the problem is.

*Edit:

You MIGHT have to do this thru the administrator account. Not an Administrator USER, but the Administrator account. Log in with username "administrator", you should've specified the password for it when you installed windows.

I tried running "gpedit.msc" and it didn't work.

How do I get into the Administration Account? I log out of my account that I'm in and there is only one icon for me to click on.

I believe you have to hit alt+ctrl+del once or twice to have the manual login window popup. I dont use welcome screen so I'm not very sure, give it a try.

Hmm.. maybe you need XP Pro to do that.

hi i had the same problem here also. My task manager was disabled and i was tried of having to see that pop up. So i searched and found out how to undisable it. Trust me this works:

NOTICE: Always be careful when editing the registry. Sometimes changes to the registry affects Windows in undocumented ways. You should always make a backup of the registry before making changes. You can make a backup using your registry editor.

Windows includes a nifty feature that allows you to disable the task manager such that it can not be used to circumvent certain local security measures. However, many spyware programs utilize this feature to an unscrupulous end - spyware uses the feature to keep you from stopping spyware. A common message that occurs is "Your administrator has disabled the Task Manager" dialogue upon Ctrl + Alt + Del. To fix this problem, go to
Start ->
Run ->
regedt32 and navigate to
HKEY_Current_User ->
Software->
Microsoft->
Windows->
CurrentVersion->
Policies->
System.->
Set the value "DisableTaskMgr" to "1" if you wish to disable the task manager or "0" if you would like to set it to being enabled
