Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER

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

I realised my task manager has a problem...

The usual File> etc commands on the top of the box has disappeared, and they do not show the name of the program file in the explorer bar too....

Furthermore using the info above, I do not even have such a key! Is there a possibility it has been deleted somehow? o_O"

Thanks....my taskmanager got serious problems sia.

Just double click on the grey area.

From Windows 2000 onwards, there's no such thing as Ctrl Alt Del to Task Manager. It will give you options to lock the PC, log off, shut down, open task manager, etc.

To access Task Manager without pressing Ctrl Alt Del, just press Ctrl Shift and Esc simultaneously.

This is work PC or ?

If it is work PC, you aren't supposed to change anything there. It's for protection of systems.

If it's your home PC, then errr... it's some pranksters. Some anti-spyware programs can do that also.

It home pc,i did all the scans already but did not find anything,so i browse the web and found the solution
anti-spywarecan disable my task manager???
I'm using avg n spyware doc

Scans won't find anything. Because it's either some admin or prankster who did that or it's some anti-spyware programs.

There's not even a grey area...

It just shows the lists of tasks...that's all..no menu bars, no nothing.

That's where the problem lies... -_-"

I show you pictures.

I believe when you open Task Manager, it shows this:

Then you double click the grey area (don't know what colour is yours, since I'm using a Classic theme)

And tada, everything will show.

Oh... Laughing
