Hi Calvin,

To disable TaskManager restrictions:

For XP Professional:
 1.. Click Start | Run.
 2.. Enter gpedit.msc at the command line and click OK.
 3.. Select User Configuration | Administrative Templates | System |
Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options | Remove Task Manager.
 4.. Double-click the Remove Task Manager option from the Group Policy
menu. You can then disable, enable, or set the policy to Not Configured.
Remember: Since the policy in question is called Remove Task Manager, by
disabling the policy, you are actually enabling the Task Manager.

* Disabling or setting this policy to Not Configured should solve the
problem. *

For XP Home & Pro:
Set the DisableTaskMgr value to "0"
