You're welcome :-)

If I were you, I'd now update my virus scanner with the latest definition
files and run a thorough scan.

One other thing you could try is to create a new user on your computer
and
log on your computer using that new user.

You can either do that by going in your start menu, control panel, user
accounts. A window will open up with options to create a new user.
Create
that user as an administrator then reboot and try logging in the
computer
with that account and see if you have access to registry and task
manager.

It sounds like you are using your computer in a network environment
where
there are group policies preventing you from accessing certain
functionalities.

If you are the administrator of your desktop, you might wanna try
renaming 2
keys in the registry (if you don't have access to your run option
under start
menu, you can directly launch the editor from
Windows\System32\regedt32.exe) :

HKey_Current_User\Software\Policies
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Policies

You can rename these 2 keys to whatever you'd like (I never delete
keys in
the registry in case it affects system stability... renaming them
allows you
to rename them back to their original name in case something
happens).

In this case, these 2 keys contain all the group policies changes
applied by
your domain administrator to your computer (HKLM) or directly to
your
username (HKCU). If I remember right, the policy preventing access
to the
task manager is one applied directly to your username.

After you rename these 2 keys, the computer might be able to open
the task
manager as he won't see the group policy blocking it anymore. Im
not sure if
only deleting these keys will actually have any instant impact on
the
computer or if you have to wait for some time or even reboot before
it has
any effect.

One thing for sure, if the computer is connected to the network, it
will
check his domain and update its group policies every 15 minutes or
directly
after a reboot or directly after you log on with your username so
the task
manager will be blocked again very soon. If your computer isn't
connected
anymore to its domain (you brought that computer home from work for
exemple),
this might fix the issue for good.

Hope this helps.

I was wondering how can I get my task manager to work.. When I
click control,
alt, delete a message pops up saying that the Task Manager has
been disabled
by the administrator. I went to a page on the microsoft site and
found that
related topic.. It gave a solution to go to start then click on
run.. I dont
have run on my start menu either.. So im clueless of what i
should do and how
to get this back working. If anyone can help me plz do!
