Hi Ray,
There is a Group Policy that can be Enabled to"Disable Task Manager". If your
computer is part of a corporate network I suggest that you discuss this issue with
your network administrator. If this is your standalone home computer do the
following to enabled the policy:
- Log on as an Administrator, or a member of the Administrators group
- Click Start, click Run, type the following command and click OK: gpedit.msc
- Navigate to the following policy:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon/Logoff
- Enable the "Disable Task Manager" policy (read the text on the Explain tab for more
information).
If you have never used gpedit.msc, and the computer in question is a standalone
home computer, keep in mind that policies set using Administrative Templates will
effect all users of the computer (including Administrators). For more information
see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles:

And if you have any questions specific to Group Policy, I suggest that you post in
the following newsgroup: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy
