Problem with my Task manager

Hi, i have windows xp and a very small problem with it. I am unable to make my task manager pop out. Usually i would press Control + Alt+ Delete but when i do this now a -Task Manager- Message comes up saying - Task Manager has been disabled by your administartor. Could anyone help me with this problems ?

ARE you the admin? can you rightclick your toolbar and get to it? can you get into device manager?

I just tried to find a recent post of mine that had some links to the fix, but couldn't find it!??! A quick Forum search on "task manager disabled" and you find some good threads on the subject.

HTH

If you are the administrator and you haven't disabled it .. it could be that something has written something it shouldnt have into the registry. Open ye olde registry editor (start > run > regedit)
Navigate to:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
On the right you should see a registry value:
DisableTaskMgr with a value of 1 .. double click on it and turn it to 0; reboot.
