How to enable Task Manager

Expand Post »
My windows XP got virus infected. I have removed it. But I can't access Task Manager. When I press Alt+Ctrl+Delete it says, "Task Manager is disabled by administrator"

How can I enable Task Manager?

Re: How to enable Task Manager

Open your registry with regedit, navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
In the right pane if you have a valuename
DisableTaskMgr with a value of 1 [one], either modify the value to 0 [zero], or merely lclick DisableTaskMgr and delete it.
Close the registry window.

  2. User configuration > Administrative Templates > System
  3. Double click on "Prevent access to registry editing tools".
  4. Disable this option (Yes, disable. If you enable this option Regedit will be disabled)

To enable CMD:
  1. Run > gpedit.msc (Press enter). Group policy editor will appear.
  2. User configuration > Administrative Templates > System
  3. Double click on "Prevent access to the command prompt".
  4. Disable this option (Yes, disable. If you enable this option Command Prompt will be disabled)

  1. Run > gpedit.msc (Press enter). Group policy editor will appear.
  2. User configuration > Administrative Templates > System > "Ctrl+Alt+Del Options"

A lot of other rarely used options are available on Group policy editor.
