Ok I was tweaking things in the registry and the next thing I know my task Manager has been disabled by my administrater.... But I am always running the admin account..... Can any of you help me out here? Thanks, Gunny

Why not System Restore your PC?

XP creates one System Restore point per day by default, so you shouldn't loose all that much.

Edit: Maybe some of the other guys have a better idea, so hang ten before you go ahead with the Restore.

Rgr that will possibly do today..... Forgot about that one lol Cheers, Gunny

System restore didnt work any more suggestions? Hopefully I dont have to do total restore to get my task manager back, I am using this computer at home on a single DSL connection and I believe the account is set to  administrater! Cheers, Gunny

I'm all out of ideas... When you say it's gone, how so?

I mean, do you see some of it when you bring it up, or is it totally gone?

were you 'Hand-Editing' the registry using rededit? last time I did that I screwed  up my comp. so bad it's not even funny... well, just a little  ;)

There's some really good freeware Registry cleaners out there... registry cleaners are what make up most of my maintenance programs... here's a few that I use...

When I do the ctrl alt del I get, Task manager disabled by your administrator.... So I have no idea cheers, Gunny

Go into your admin settings and you should be able to locate where you can enable or disable it there.

Well case closed, I just changed the registry entry to DWORD and set 0 and now she works..... First I get a router set then this all in two days..... Whats next? Cheers, Very tired Gunny
