Hi there,

A friend of mine (no this is not one of those: "I have done something I'm ashamed about and making it sound like a friend of mine did it", really... it isn't!) recently got himself a new comp. I helped him install all the software, drivers and opted for Win XP as OS. He downloaded Tweak XP and changed a few minor things by himself.

The problem occured a few days ago, he can't open task manager... Every time he tries it an error message pops up saying: "Cannot open task manager, Administrator access only" or something close to it. The thing is HE is logged into Win XP as administrator! What could he have changed, or is it Tweak XP that is complete crap?

Thanks for any help

open gpedit.msc, go to User configuration\administrative templates\system\ctrl-alt-del options\ and see if remove task manager is enabled
