Virus disabled my task manager.

[Dzamija]

Alright, I got a virus, and through a bit of a hassle AVG successfully removed it. However, it seems that the virus managed to disable my Task Manager in my account. It works in the administrator, though.


Any idea how I can turn it back on?

Try the methods listed in the following link:

[Greenberet]

registry:

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1=Enablethis key, that is DISABLE TaskManager
Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager

Thanks, MC. I used the first method on that site and it worked instantly.

And thanks to Greenberet too, even though I didn't use your method, you still cared to type all that up ^^

Someone can close this now.
