Copy and paste the following into notepad.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000
Save it as follows:
Click File on the toolbar and choose "Save as..."
Save in = Desktop
File Name = DisableTaskMgr.reg
Save as type = All Files
Encodind = ANSI
Click "Save"
Now right click on the file and choose Merge. Accept the change and reboot.
Task Manager?

Is the Task Manager the only component not working? How about regedit or msconfig. Check both of those for me by clicking Start, then Run, and typing regedit, and click "Ok". Do the same with msconfig. Let me know if these open for you.

msconfig works
regedit states as follows in a box named '16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem'
c:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.com
c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
(there is an option to ignore too).

http://windowsxp.mvp...g/ToolsQuit.htm <--regedit.com could be a sign of a particularly nasty trojan...regedit is by default an exe...the only time there should be regetid with a .com extension..is when you have to rename it for another reason..if you didn't something else did...and it's probably not a good thing....this same trojaan can also rename taskmgr.exe to .com...causing it not to work as well...i suggest you take a trip through the malware forum and get checked out

Yup...dsenette's right.
Please go to the Malware Forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the Start Here.
That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself...then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum. Be patient, the Malware Forum is a very busy place and a two or three day wait is not unusual. DO NOT REPLY TO OR BUMP YOUR OWN LOG. If it shows a reply it may be overlooked as one that is being worked on.
If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.
