Moe, As an administrator, you can enable/disable WinXP Pro's TaskManager using the Group Policy Editor. These instructions will not work for WinXP Home, however. Go to Start > Run, type in gpedit.msc and click OK. In the Group Policy settings window that opens, select User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Ctrl+Alt+Delete options > Remove Task Manager and then double-click the Remove Task Manager option. The policy here is to REMOVE Task Manager. By disabling the policy, you are actually enabling the Task Manager. Note for anyone following this thread: If you are trying to override your organization's group policy, you can't. As soon as you re-authenticate to the domain, the domain or OU Group Policy will rewrite the registry setting. Also note that there are a LOT of other settings in this utility that can put a serious hurting on your system if you're not absolutely sure of what you're doing.
