For some reason when i attempt to access Task Manager,
Windows says That a administrator has disabled my access
to Task Manager. Though, the fact is I am the System
Administrator. I havent recently changed accessibility
settings nor have I changed system files. So, time to
time when a program stops responding, i have a problem
trying to end the program, or see computer activity,
processes, etc. In essesnce- the computer has locked my
out of Task Manager.
 
Hi Vishal,

This error is due to the Task Manager restrictions in place. To disable
TaskManager restrictions:

For XP Professional:
1.. Click Start | Run.
2.. Enter gpedit.msc at the command line and click OK.
3.. Select User Configuration | Administrative Templates | System |
Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options | Remove Task Manager.
4.. Double-click the Remove Task Manager option from the Group Policy
menu. You can then disable, enable, or set the policy to Not Configured.
Remember: Since the policy in question is called Remove Task Manager, by
disabling the policy, you are actually enabling the Task Manager.

* Disabling or setting this policy to Not Configured should solve the
problem. *


For XP Home & Pro:
Set the DisableTaskMgr value to "0"
