The following tutorial is for both general use and network administrators. This script will disable the Task Manager on Windows XP.
The script below works for both the classic ctrl+alt+del automatic displaying and the networked version which gives options involving password change, logoff, etc.
I have found this tweak VERY handy as it prevents the common and not-so-common user from disabling protective software or making changes they should not to the computer.
*This script has been known to change the basic ctrl+alt+del automatic displaying to the options display type.
*This change does not affect how Windows works. It merely changes the results seen when pressing ctrl+alt+del.
Save the following into a file with a .reg extension:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000001
Now the Task Manager is no more. To bring it back, simply change the value 00000001 to 00000000, and run the script again.
