| Guest | Getting Task Manager Access Back Task Manager changed and I no longer have access. followed Windows help: Click to open Registry Editor.* If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies Double-click System, double-click DisableTaskMgr, change Value data to 0, and then click OK. But "Disable TaskMgr" doesn't appear after double clicking "System". At a loss. |

| Guest | Re: Getting Task Manager Access Back Doug Try creating that registry value. After you open the 'System' key, right click in the right side pane and select New/DWord(32-bit)Value. Rename the value to DisableTaskMgr (This name is case sensitive with no spaces). The default value will be 0 (zero). Exit the registry editor and reboot the computer. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Doug" <Doug@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:042804BB-91F5-4331-8F9A-E4EB33040B9B@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Getting Task Manager Access Back Thanks Ronnie, I appear to now have task manager but I'm getting the following when trying to open it: "C:\Windows\system32\taskmgr.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." The task manager properties were changed and I still can't access it via ctrl alt delete. any further advise short of restoring system back to factory defaults? "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote:

Try running a "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) command to see if that will fix the system file. This tutorial will show you how. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66...tem-files.html If that doesn't fix it, then take ownership of the C:\Windows\system32\taskmgr.exe file, then make sure that "Trusted Installer" and your (username) account has "Full Control". This will give you the permission you need to access the file. This tutorial will show you how. Take Ownership of file Shawn | |||||||||||||||
