_When I pushed Ctrl+Alt+Del , I got the message : "The Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator" .

How can I turn it back on ? Thanks
 
Busuabo,

I am not sure of the normal procedure to enable the task manager but I was able to do it on a system at work by using a registry hack. Go to google and search for a registry hack to enable the taskbar. You will have to create a registry key to do this. I would recommend backing up your registry before you do this. Also, if you don't feel comfortable editing the registry then I would recommend leaving it for someone else to do. Hope this helps.

See if it has been removed via Group Policy.

Type Gpedit.msc in the Run Box and in Group Policy navigate via Local Computer Policy/ User Configuration/ Administrative Templates/ System/ Ctrl+Alt+Del Option/ Remove Task Manager


This registry setting can be looked at.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr
