Task Manager Unavailable
Two days ago, CTRL+ALT+DEL still brought up a menu, but suddenly it no longer included the Task Manager. When I tried to access the TM, I was told that the "System Administrator" had made the TM unavailable. Since I am the only user of this computer, I am therefore its administrator, and my account is listed as admin. So how could I change this sudden strange behavior? I use TM all the time to shut down frozen programs, which appear in 7 almost as often as they did in Vista.
I found the solution over in the Vista forum. Rather than typing it all, I'll just post the URL: Task Manager - Enable or Disable - Vista Forums Try it if it happens to you. Conversely, you can use it to restrict some of your users from accessing the TM, if you think that's a good idea (I don't).
After I applied the change, I didn't even have to reboot!
