There is a registry hack to enable or disable Task Manager.

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1=Enable this key, that is DISABLE TaskManager
Value: 0=Disable this key, that is Don’t Disable, Enable TaskManager.

If you are an Administrator you can consider  using Group Policy Editor. For that,

  • Click Start
  • Click Run
  • Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
  • 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

Since the policy is Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are enabling the Task Manager.

FYI: You can run registry editor with command regedit.

This trick is really cool !

Goto START>RUN>type REGEDIT

Then goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor

On right hand side double click on processorNameString and write what ever you want.

Now check for the modified information in Computer Properties.

It’s a given that anything that runs in RAM will be faster than an item that
has to access the hard drive and virtual memory. Rather than have the kernel
that is the foundation of XP using the slower Paging Executive functions,
use this hack to create and set the DisablePagingExecutive DWORD to a
value of 1.
Perform this hack only if the system has 256MB or more of
installed RAM!
Edit the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\DisablePagingExecutive to 1 to
disable paging and have the kernel run in RAM (set the value to 0 to undo
this hack). Exit the Registry and reboot.
