Administrator has disabled regedit/Task Manager

Until 3/12 my computer was fine, then suddenly, it presents the message that the administrator has disabled the Task Manager and registry editor. I did not anything that would affect other files only by using the Task Manager to monitor the activity. I'm unable to fix this problem and need help. Thanks in advance for any help.

Your computer is infected. You may be able to clean it, but based on your user name and your message, I would say that you would be better to take it to a competent local professional. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, just to be practical.

    You say, apparently, there are several "list of Trojan horses. Even if
    Can't remember their names, at least tell us how much
    There was. Microsoft Security Essentials is a good anti-virus, but
    whenever you have multiple infections, your chances of success

    I'm running a windows 2000 XP Professional and LONG time ago my race and my task manager has been disabled. I couldn't find the answer, so I need help on how to solve it. So my question: how to unlock the Task Manager and run?

    Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

  • "Administrator has disabled Teredo locally.

    I think I have tried everything that has been recommended here. My two computers running Windows 7 proffessional. All the appropriate boxes have been checked under IPv6 protocols. However, I got some problems when uninstalling/reinstalling IPv6 protocols. When he asked me for the location of the *.inf file I didn't know where to look. On the Windows disc or my my motherboard drivers disc. Needless to say, he could not be found on a disk you know the location of this file? I uninstalled the network adapters in the Device Manager on both computers and rebooted and everything was reinstalled but still the "Teredo thing." So, I'm at an impasse. Win 7 was supposed to make things easier to present this was not the case. In this era of networking should be obvious with the advent of online multimedia. I've always taken in charge of Microsoft, but I wonder if I would have taken my brothers advice and got a Mac. This shouldn't be too difficult as. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Sledrace,

    one) is that the computer is connected to a domain?
    (b) have you connected to the user administrator account?

    Teredo is a tunneling protocol designed to grant IPv6 connectivity to nodes that are located behind IPv6 NAT (network address translation) not compatible devices. It defines a way of encapsulating IPv6 packets in IPv4 UDP (User Datagram Protocol) datagrams can be routed through NAT devices, on the IPv4 internet.

    You will most likely activate IPv6 and check.
     
    Method 1:
     
    To turn on IPv6:
    1. go into your control panel network connections and
    2. go in the Properties menu for the connection that you want to config.
    3. it will probably be just the connection to the Local network.
    4 check the box indicating "Microsoft TCP/IP Version 6".
    5. If you do not have this option, click on the 'install' button, choose the protocols and install it.
    6. This will allow the teredo tunnel so it can create a tunnel through v4.

    Disable IPv6:

    Try to uninstall IPv6 on all interfaces. To remove the IPv6

    1 click Start and type network and sharing Center

    2. Select Local network

    3 go to the properties for each network adapter

    4 deselect the box next to the Protocol "Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) Internet, which will disable, or select it and click on uninstall, which will remove off the computer.»

    5 restart your computer

    NOTE: You should do this for each network connection.

    During the installation of the IPV6 if its request for the location, then navigate to c:\windows\inf and see if it installs the driver.

    Method 2:
    If any third-party antivirus is installed, try disabling the same and check if that helps. If you are able to join the Working Group, then you will need to uninstall and reinstall the software.
     
    Method 3:
    Change TCP/IP settings. Follow the steps listed in the link below: change TCP/IP settings: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-TCP-IP-settings

  • Task Manager disabled

    I get a message that the administrator has disabled the Task Manager.  My wife and I are the only users of the computer, and none of us did.  How to re-enable the Task Manager please?

    If this other idea does not work, proceed as follows (at least the scans below):

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoSetTaskbar" = -.

    Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

    If you have any of these symptoms, and you have not changed the settings yourself, something different for you, so I would follow to the top with this:

    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  • How can I enable the Task Manager after recovering from an attack of Win32.GEMA

    Hello

    I am running Windows XP SP3.

    I have recently had an attack of the Win32.GEMA Trojan horse. Details of it are here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FRansirac.G

    I recovered my system using:

    AVG Rescue Disk

    Kaspersky Rescue Disk

    BitDefender Rescue Disk

    Scan of MalwareBytes

    McAffee analysis

    Hitman Pro Scan

    Spybot scan

    Eusing Registry Cleaner

    CCleaner

    Overkill maybe? But it worked... Up to now

    Apparently, the Trojan horse disables the Task Manager and that is I'm having bad to restore.

    I followed the advice in this article from Microsoft - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913623/ - but when I followed this part

    To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for a specific user, follow these steps:

    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
    3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
    4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
    6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
    7. On the file menu, click exit.
    8. Restart the computer.

    N ° 5 says that disable TaskMgr should appear in the right pane, but there is no entry to disable TaskMgr. All it is an icon of the small 'ab' (the default) beside it, then, REG_SZ.

    Then I tried to follow this part of the article from Microsoft

    To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for all users, follow these steps:

    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
    3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
    4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\
    5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
    6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
    7. On the file menu, click exit.
    8. Restart the computer.

    This time off TaskMgr was in the right pane - this time with a little "ohho? icon followed REG_DWORD

    I tried to create a new entry for the current user by copying one for all users, but not joy.

    Any suggestions?

    CTRL + Alt + Del does not receive any reaction whatsoever, no Ctrl + Shift + Esc or click with the right button on the barv task and selecting the Task Manager

    Thank you in anticipation

    These KB articles are for a different problem when you receive these messages when you run the Task Manager...

    Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)

    The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

    The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

    You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

    Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

    Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

    c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

    Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

    The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

    Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

  • Re open the Task Manager

    My task manager has been closed and I have no idea why. There are only 2 users on my computer, myself and my wife.

    I tried following the instructions of Microsoft to change the registry and sailed to disable the Task Manager, but concluded that the "value data" was already 0 which is what I was instructed to take it.

    Hello mollie1950,

    Have uninstalled the registry cleaner with your question?

    If you're still having problems with the Task Manager, please see the information on Microsoft.
