Disabled task manager is usually caused by a virus, Trojan or other Malware. to enable your task manager, just follow these steps.
 
  1. Click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
  2. Under User Configuration, Click on the plus (+) next to Administrative Templates
  3. Click on the plus (+) next System, then click on Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options
  4. Find Remove Task Manager in the right-hand pane and double click on it
  5. Choose the option "Not Configured"  and click Ok. 
  6. Close the Group Policy Window

It's true, Using the RegEdit is not that easy. There's another way to enable your task manager. just download this software, double click and problem solved. http://www.recoverdatatools.com/tools/download.php?id=1

Im glad that you find another solution.. but remember The Microsoft Registry Editor (regedit.exe) enables you to view, search for, and change settings in your system registry, which contains information about how your computer runs. Although you can use Registry Editor to inspect and modify the registry, doing so is not recommended, as making incorrect changes can damage your system.

Hello Dear,
Thanks for sharing your problem with us.
Dear this is very common error. It is a virus attack and this virus effects not only the task manager but also disables the windows registry.
You can recopy this file but it will replace again at each system start up.
If you want to re copy this file then make these steps.
1. Go to the folder C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 and then right-click on task manager file from it and select Copy.
2. Open the folder C:\WINDOWS\System32 and then right-click from it and select Paste.
It will open task manage twice or thrice but when you will restart your computer it can create problem again. This problem can be overcame by reinstalling windows.
I hope it will help you.
Thanks
