  Virus Infection “Unable to change desktop background image” »

Error Message: “Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator”

Viruses are always try­ing to cover their tracks. This repair was no excep­tion.… Error Mes­sage: “Task Man­ager has been dis­abled by your admin­is­tra­tor”. There was no way any­one using this com­puter would even be capa­ble of secur­ing “Task Man­ager”. After a bit of research I came across two things, the first was that “Spy­bot” picked up this prob­lem. The sec­ond was that, “Spy­bot” could only half-repair the prob­lem. After a restart I found that either typing

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v Dis­able­TaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

into the “run com­mand”

Or go to “Run” and type “Regedit” and nav­i­gate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Soft­ware \ Microsoft \ Win­dows \ Cur­rentVer­sion \ Poli­cies\ System

and delete “DisableTaskMgr”

cleared the prob­lem right up.
