Here's what it says:
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key:
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1=Enablethis key, that is DISABLE TaskManager
Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable
TaskManager
As part of the enhanced management available in Windows
2000 and Windows XP, rather than risking a registry
change, as an administrator you can enable or disable
Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro's TaskManager using
Group Policy Editor. This can be applied to the local
policy. Note: if you are trying to override your
organizations group policy, you can't. As soon as you re-
authenticate to the domain, the domain or OU Group Policy
will rewrite the registry setting. But if the TaskManager
was accidently disabled or you need to control this item
for a set of standalone boxes this is for you:
Click Start
Click Run
Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
In the Group Policy settings window
Select User Configuration
Select Administrative Templates
Select System
Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
Select Remove Task Manager
Double-click the Remove Task Manager option
And as I mentioned above, since the policy is Remove Task
Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the
Task Manager.
Got XP Home - use the registry edit.
