Task Manager on XP
When I try to use task manager on windows xp by pressing ctrl+alt+del, a little gray box pops up and says "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator." But I'm the only one that uses my computer and I never did anything to disable it. I did a search on how to fix this and followed everything step by step, but it didn't work. Has anyone else ever had this problem and if so, how did you fix it?

Value: 1=Enablethis key, that is DISABLE TaskManager
Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager

Im not sure really what this could be, try going into user accounts, and click on your account - then go to change my account type. check and see if its on limited or computer administrator. make sure its set to comp. administrator. If that doesnt work, I really dont understand why it would be doing that, because usually task manager cant be disabled.

I would have also sent you to the page ncblondie did.... But here is a link to a free on-line virus scanner:

... you should also download and use a spyware scanner. If you don't already have a current one, here is a link to the latest:

First I would try running a virus scan as well as spyware scan. A virus can lock you out of your own computer. Repair any infected files then reboot your computer. Go to the link below and download the REG fix listed under method 2 to your desktop. Once it's downloaded, click it to run it. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

try going to properties. sometimes if you're playing around theres disable buttons. if not then you can probably get it fixed at a computer company.
good luck!
