I feel pretty stupid asking but how do I turn my taskmanager back on?
windows XP Sp2. Some wiseacre turned it off. Can't figure it out.

Do you get some type of error when you try to open Task Manager? Like press ctrl-alt-del? Or right-click the Task Bar and select Task Manager. Any popups?

Otherwise, if Task Manager is just plain "off", there is a registry key to turn it back on:

Go to Start / Run regedit and go to this key:

Or you could do this if you have XP Pro with GPEDIT.

Go to Start / Run gpedit

In the Group Policy settings window:

Select User Configuration
Select Administrative Templates
Select System
Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
Select Remove Task Manager
Double-click the Remove Task Manager option this will open a box that will let you enable taskmanager.
Put a dot in Enabled then click on Apply and exit.
