Task Manager Disabled ? Download and apply this registry fix. Reboot.

when i press ctrl+alt+del it shows "task manager has been disabled by your administrator"

my PC has gone mad

You have a limited account on the PC.You must be logged in as administrator to access tskmngr or regedit.

if u r sure that u ver able to do the same till some time back and are also doubly sure that u have Administrator privilages, then the symptoms u have described clearly india8 dat u been infectd with a virus (actually a worm)

My suggestions

1.) Run a good virus scan to disinfect ur computer (use NOD32 or KAV)

2.) To re-enable access to registry, check out my post in this thread

d00d ur fix will not work

can u find d mistake, esp if u ask him to copy-paste it

yup had the same problem fortunately i have the solution
start-run
in run enter

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD

better if u copy and paste

as long as d comp is not disinfected task manager will again b disabled probably next boot and he still will b unable to access d Registry and have its Task manager disabled again
