Usually one can hit ctrl-alt-delete and thetask manager
pops up. But now I get "task manager has been disabled
by your administrator". I do not recall changing it,
have I been hacked and someone changed my settings? Or
is there an easy way to get it working again?

Help! thanks Bob

Kelly, Well I tried both.

The first where I tried "start" "run" and type in "gpedit.msc" got me the
message of "Windows can not find "gpedit.msc" make sure you typed the name
correctly..etc"

The second of downloading tweak, well it went well, I right clicked for edit
and eth notepad meassage was as follows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\syste
m]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

Any idea what may be happening? Bob
