Task Manager Has Been Disabled by your Administrator, How to Fix It
Many times when working on a computer that has been infected with a virus, trojan, or piece of spyware I find myself with the Task Manager being disabled. Malware creators like to disable Task Manager so it makes solving the problem and removing the issue difficult.
If this happens you'll normally have to edit the Windows registry to fix the problem. A restriction has been placed on the user to not allow them to run Task Manager, this might be ok in an office environment where the IT department wants to control things, but in a home office this can cause major problems trying to fix a malware or virus issue.
Listed below you will find the many ways to re-enable Task Manager along with an automatic method that works wonders.
To open the Task Manager, you normally would do one of the following:
- Press CTRL-ALT-DEL on the keyboard
