Answer 1

alright here's your answer:

if you have Windows XP PRO (see below if you don't):

there's a nifty user interface to directly edit the setting you want to repair. Click Start, then click Run and type in gpedit.msc

And press OK. This runs the Group Policy Editor.

Once in the Group Policy Editor, expand in turn:

      User Configuration

      Administrative Templates

      System

      Ctrl+Alt+Del Options

Double click on Remove Task Manager to change its setting

It should be enough to click on Not Configured and then OK and Task Manager is available once again.

IF you DON'T have Windows XP Pro, then do the following:

you'll need to edit the registry manually.

Click Start, then click Run, type in regedit, and click on OK.

Expand these registry keys in turn:

       HKEY_CURRENT_USER

      Software

      Microsoft

      Windows

  

      CurrentVersion

      Policies

      System

Right Click on the DisableTaskMgr item

Click on Delete, confirm that you want to delete, and Task Manager should be available once again.

there you go.

glad to help.

Answer 3

Step 1. Unplug Computer

Step 2. Find nearest sky scraper

Step 3. Climb to the top of sky scraper

Step 4. Carefully move to the edge of the roof

Step 5. Drop computer and smile as it falls

Step 6. Run quickly after satisfying yourself with the damage

Step 7. Visit the nearest Apple store or store.apple.com

good luck!

(in all seriousness...)

if you bought the computer, you most likely are the administrator.  if you don't know the password and the computer is brand new to you... just wipe it clean, reformat the hard drive and install a new copy of the operating system.  you will save much time and sanity that way over trying to troubleshoot a foreign issue.
