Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Look in the right pane for a value called DisableTaskMgr. If it exists, it
should be set to 0 (zero). If not, double click it and change it. If it
doesn't exist, right click in a blank spot in the right pane, select New,
DWord and name it DisableTaskMgr.
