Re: Task Manager and Desktop

I found the registry as directed and this is what I found
ab Default REG_SZ no value set
Disable Registry T... REG_DWord 0x00000000(0)
Disable Task Manager REG_DWORD 0x0000000(0)
ab Walllpaper REG_SZ

I added O to wallpaper but that didn't seem to help. I have yet to restart
