After a reboot, trying to access Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DELETE) results in
message "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator." That's me,
I'm my own administrator on Windows XP Home.
How can my administrator re-enable Task Manager? Asking him to do so has
proven ineffective.
What's known:
1. Using regedit to look at the registry key
hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\system
Here's what I see:
Name: Type: Data:
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
DisableRegistryTools REG_DWORD (invalid DWORD value)
Disable TaskMgr REG_DWORD (invalid DWORD value)
What DWORD is needed to be inserted? How do I insert it?
2. When I try to run gpedit.msc I get an error message that the file can't
be found. I searched for gpedit.msc and the file doesn't exist on the
computer. The computer has 4 profiles.
3.I have been getting frequent WinMgmt errors in EventViewer -- Application
-- Error # 28, which says WinMgmt can't initialize core parts. These error
messages have been occuring for a week or two before Task Manager quit
working. Are these two connected?
What to do?
