There are a few ways, try one of these


Start >Run (copy & paste the command below)

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

---

Start > Run type gpedit.msc
Group Policy settings >User Configuration >Administrative Templates >System >Ctrl+Alt+Delete options >Remove Task Manager
Double-click the Remove Task Manager
---
Start, >Run type gpedit.msc
>User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options > Remove Task Manager
Double-click Remove Task Manager.
Set policy to Not Configured.


By disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.

It is not, I assumed XP pro.


Do you know how to restore your system to a previouse date? if so try it you may be lucky, if not.

Try this for XP home

Start>run Type Regedit.exe

You need to expand the HKEY CURRENTUSER tree through the following folders >Software > Microsoft > Windows >CurrentVersion > Policies

Q What is in the policies folder and what are the properties


or

Download and run this REG (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/EnableTM.reg) fix and double-click it.
