Well, the other day I went to use Task Manager only to find out that it gives me the error -

"task manager has been disabled by your administrator."

Problem is, I am the only one to use the computer, and I am the administrator.

I made another account, works on that one..

Any ideas on how to fix this?

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)

Search isn't almighty anymore. Only to mods.

You can always make a program that enables it.

see i have the same problem on the other user, except regedit is locked for it too, so there is no way to get into the keystring.


That's weird.

Don't know if anything else will help, except re-installing windows.

can someone else make me a program that does it cus i dunno how


I think he meant making a program that simply alters / creates the register key.

That shouldn't be too hard to make. Unfortunately I don't have any compilers on my PC,
because I recently upgraded my hardware and formatted my harddisk.
Even if I had.. oh well, doesn't matter. I have a million things to do right now.

Code:

HKEY hKey;
LPCWSTR lpSubKey = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System";
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, lpSubKey, 0, 0, &hKey);
RegSetValueEx(hKey, "DisableTaskMgr", 0, REG_DWORD, 0, 4);
RegCloseKey(hKey);

Elpacco, I made a topic called How to: Enable Task Manager.

Try the 2nd method there.
