Hi Jose,

Go to Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
System
Create a new DWORD valued named "DisableTaskMgr" and set it to "1" to
disable Task Manager. You will need to log off for the changes to take
effect.

If it doesn't work under Current User, add a subkey (New/Key).

It does work under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies

All the Best,
