Fix: disabled task manager.



-Open Run
-Type "gpedit.msc"
-Press Enter
-Open "Remove Task Manager"

Now, why such option exists in the windows ?




-Open a text file
-Write in it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
#By Amahdy

-Double click on the file ...

-Open a text file
-Write in it:
Option Explicit
' By Amahdy
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
MsgBox "DONE!"

-Double click on the file ...





  1. In my case tehre is no "System" folder - what can be done then?


  2. Hey Craig .. well I said in the post that : [quote]


    ..what's your problem exactly ? what do you want to do and you cannot ?

  3. I did both scripts and neither made a difference. What does that mean?

  4. Well maybe [but not sure] u have a virus that keep killing the "task manager" process.
    Seems you need to end the virus process first ...
    second guess is that you are trying to do that as a limited user in an administratively protected PC .. what's so far ?

  5. I cannot follow any of the suggestions, because the virus has taken my desktop and task bars. Any ideas on this one?? Also, I shut my pc completely down, leave the room and it comes back on, completely booted?? HELP!!!

  6. Man if you just write any of the scripts in a txt file and "RUN" it, this will just return the TASK-MANAGER back to u and then u have to search for the virus process and kill it.
    If you lost all control in the desktop and can't do anything, try to log-in as administrator or maybe return to an earlier restoration point. hope this can help.

  7. hey amahdy. im using a vbs file to open regedit as the virus in my computer disabled my taskmgr and regedit. i tried setting the DisableTaskMgr value to 0 or deleting it to enable my task manager. but everytime after i close my regedit. the DisableTaskMgr will come back to 1 again. the virus in my comp is W32/sality.

  8. Chun, seems ur virus continuously check the reg. value and reset it to 1, u need to try to add extra code line in the script that execute the taskmanger directly after changing the value, something like:
    Shell "taskmgr"

    then whenever the virus change the value again u'll have the taskmanager opened from which u should be able to end the virus task ...
