My brother disabled the task manager. So when we press the whole ctrl + alt + delete thing, a pop up will say the task manager was disabled. You guys know how to put it back?

What version of Windows are you using?
Edited to add: Ok either way - From: infopackets * 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 * Reboot your machine. Please note the name of the Key "Disable Task Manager" when Enabled will actually disable TaskManager. I know it's confusing, but please pay attention to the setting (the value 0 will enable it). There is more detail on web site, but the above instructions should fix the problem for most home users. And as always: make a backup of your Registry before making changes to it. // But I have to be honest, futzing around the registry always makes me nervous. Does anyone know of an easier way? |

Right click on your windows toolbar, click "content", then edit the settings of the task manager. I hope you know what I mean.

^ sorry.
I'm using the Chinese version of Windows XP, so I don't know what it is in English. Seems like you can't directly translate wordings like these. |

hey, uhh same person here. I do not know what happened.. like wtf but um my Task Manager disappeared. It wasn't disabled. It disappeared. As in, I would press ctrl, alt, delete and nothing would pop up. Not even a window that says, "Task Manager disabled". I tried redoing the steps Rebecca gave me, but when I put in "regedit" (without the quotes) on the Run thing, it says, "not available for windows 32." Help?
