Isn't there a simple way that I, as admin, can enable task manager again?Not sure exactly what you're doing ?Just click the first link to download the .reg file to your desktop (or wherever you like) and then double click the .reg file to add the info to your Registry and re-enable your Task Manager. It's a lot easier than manually editing your Registry :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 It's not a .TXT file, it's a .REG file. Download it, then use right-click | Merge to modify the registry entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
