RE: How do I enable Task Manager in Windows XP Home Edition SP2?

I've tried the MS solutions http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555480 and no
luck.I've tried your solution below, and it's already set to zero. However,
the following tabs I couldn't find the Group Policy Object of the DisableCad:

Thanks,
Reg


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DisableCAD"=dword:00000000

Any solutions? I've tried everything I can find.

Alternatively, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Look in the right pane for a value called DisableTaskMgr. If it exists, it
should be set to 0 (zero). If not, double click it and set it to 0. If it
doesn't exist, right click in a blank area of the right pane and select New,
DWord value. Name it DisableTaskMgr and leave it set at 0.

You also need to ensure that your antivirus/antispyware programs are up to
date, and rescan your system.

I have recently installed Windows XP on my computer. When I attempt to open
Task Manager using the Ctrl+Alt-Del comand, I am informed that the Task
Manager has been disabled by the system administrator. I am the system
adminstrator and am signed in as such but can find no way to enable the Task
Manger on my system. When right clicking on the taskbar, Task Manager is
dimmed and when entering Taskmgr in Run, I recieve the same error message as
before. My system has no spyware or viruses. Any help you can give me would
be great. Thanks.
