For General use, or network administrators. This script will disable the TaskManager.

This Works for both the classic ctrl+alt+del automatic displaying and the networked version which gives options involving password change, logoff etc.

I have found this tweak VERY handy as if prevents the common and not so common user from disabling and other protective software or making changes they shouldn't to the computer.

*This script has been known to change the basic ctrl+alt+del automatic displaying to the options display type.
*This change does not affect how Windows works, merely changes the results on pressing ctrl+alt+del.

Save the following into a file with a .reg extension:

Now the task manager is no more, to bring it back simply change the value 00000001 to 00000000 and run the script again.
