Re: How to enable Task Manager

When I do "alt control delete" I get a message:
"Task Manager has been disabled by your Administrator"

I have the following instructions to enable Task Manager:
Click Start
Click Run
Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
In the Group Policy settings window
Select User Configuration
Select Administrative Templates
Select System
Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
Select Remove Task Manager
Double-click the Remove Task Manager option
And as I mentioned above, since the policy is Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager


But when I enter gpedit.msc I get an error that says:
"Windows can not find gpedit.msc"

So now what I can I do????

Please help!!!!!

I ran a virus scan, and no viruses detected!

Re: How to enable Task Manager

labber, XP home does not have gpedit. Go to my post in the first page and apply it.
Or, if you wish, just do this and it will remove the key value involved.
==Please copy the text in the box to a notepad [format/wordwrap unchecked] and save as fixkey.reg, as type "all files", to your desktop; dclick it to run... agree; if it opens in notepad instead rclick the icon [file], choose Open with, Registry editor....
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=-
