No Task Manager
 
WindowsXP Pro Sp3

After an anti-virus program removed two Trojans I no longer have access to Task Manager.
Is there a way to make it active again?
I don't want to do a restore for fear it will take me back to include the Trojans again.

Look in the registry for the presence of the DisableTaskMgr value. The
setting can be user specific (HKCU) or system wide (HKLM). For the
currently logged on user look at:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]

If the "DisableTaskMgr" is present change the value to 0, or you can
simply delete the value altogther.


For all users (system wide), look at:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\system]
