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/missing.html

How to enable or disable taskmanager?

I'm 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.

How to enable or disable taskmanager?

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:WINDOWSServicePackFilesi386 and then right-click on task manager file from it and select Copy.

2. Open the folder C:WINDOWSSystem32 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
