|

Well I had a virus that disabled task manager apparently? And I'm just wondering how I could re-enable it. Thanks.

You can try the following:
Click Start
Click Run
Enter regedit in the Open box and click OK.
Now search for the following registry key:
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Then set the value to 0.
(You will need to reboot after this)

@ elpacco
I had this same problem on my other PC.
I fixed it by doing that..
Luckily the virus didn't disable regedit (for me)

So are you saying my method worked?
Cool!
The last guy who tried it said he couldn't find the register key
