You did look below the registry fix. There is also instructions on how to fix it without doing that, and just using the control panel. 😛

```
* Click Start
* Click Run
* Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
* In the Group Policy settings window
      o Select User Configuration
      o Select Administrative Templates
      o Select System
      o Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
      o Select Remove Task Manager
      o Double-click the Remove Task Manager option 

```

And as I mentioned above, since the policy is Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.

Got XP Home - use the registry edit.

However if you are using Home it’s moot, but it was not specified.
