How to enable Task Manager

But first let's figure out what features the Task Manager provides. Task Manager has six tabs. Tab "Applications" displays applications running on the system. You can switch to any of the applications or complete it (for example, if the program "hung"). On the tab "Processes" All current processes of the system are visible. You can terminate the process, change its priority, and if you have a multiprocessor system, then you can assign it a match.

In the tab "Services" contains information about all the services of the operating system (present in Windows Vista and Windows 7). Tab "Speed" Displays the graphics usage of RAM and CPU usage. Tab "Net" contains schedules for downloading network connections (if there are none, the tab is missing). In Administrator mode, a tab is available "Users", allowing you to manage active users.

To invoke the task manager, you must use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Del. In Windows 7, this combination instead of the dispatchertasks causes the shutdown menu (user change, logout, etc.). One of the items in this menu is the task manager. If you want to invoke the task manager in Windows 7 directly, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Esc. You can also invoke the task manager by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting the context menu item "Start Task Manager".

But sometimes in response to these actions the computer "makes you happy" with the message: "The task manager has been disabled by the administrator". What to do in this case? How do I enable Task Manager? First of all, it is necessary check your computer for viruses - some viruses block the task manager,so that you can not complete the processes they started. But even after virus removal, Task Manager can remain locked. We will tell you how to enable Task Manager after virus removal.

To enable task manager, you need to click on the "Start" button (buttonin the lower left part of the screen with the Windows logo) and select the "Run" item in the opened menu. In the line of the dialog that opens, enter the command gpedit.msc and then click OK or press Enter. The "Group Policy" dialog should open. Go to "User Configuration", select "Administrative Templates", then "System" and finally "Opportunities Ctrl + Alt + Del" ("Options for actions when pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del").

In this item there should be a parameter "DeleteTask Manager". After double-clicking on this parameter, the "Task Manager Delete Properties" window opens. Select the "Disconnected" option in it, click "Apply" and OK, then close the window. All!

You can also enable Task Manager by editing the registry. To do this, open the Run dialog box in the same way as in the previous case. In the "Run" box, type the following command: regedit and then click OK or press Enter. The Registry Editor should open. You need the [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSof twareMicrosoftWindow sCurrentVersionPolic iesSystem] section. In this section, find the REG_DWORD parameter DisableTaskMgr and change its value from 1 to 0 or simply delete the parameter.

Remember that all manipulations with the Registry Editoryou carry out at your own risk! Improper editing and deleting of Windows registry settings can lead to problems in the operation of the operating system and the need to reinstall it!

Previous methods are suitable if the task manager has been blocked by a virus. If the message "Task Manager is disabled by the administrator" is given to you working computer - it is quite possible that it really turned off your system administrator. In such a situation, you can turn on the task manager back, only he - if you ask him well.
