Hi

I have installed TweakXP Pro 3 on my pc and it has disabled the task manager, i have unistalled this application but each time I go to open the task manager it tells me that the administrator has disable it. I have to open it as a differnet user accout and it works OK. Is there a registry setting that I need to change so that I can acess the Task Manager
 
Are u an administrator on the machine?
Can you try installing twaekui again under the admin acount and enable it?
