hi im using windows xp and when i try to open task manager it says its been disabled by administrator?

Question

please help

Answer 1

Sounds like your administator at work/school has it locked out for a reason.

Answer 2

Hmmm... sounds like your task manager has been disabled by the administrator. Ask them.

Answer 3

Someone altered the registry keys allowing task manager to regular users. You'll need to get into the administrator account and update these keys, see the weblink:

Answer 4

First check out this website:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Taskmanager_error.htm

Has various ways to fix this issue.

I would recommend using Method #2:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/EnableTM.reg
because I believe that this would be the simplest way to change that value all you have to do is double click it and agree to insert it.

I checked the .reg file and it does exactly what method #1 is so there is no concern about that file.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

attempt searching the microsoft information superhighway website. It has the answer because I used to have the placement ad solved it from there. If I do remember properly it ought to contain modifying the registry even if it isn't complicated and is defined ok.
