I am using Windows XP home edition. How do I deny launching of "Task manager"? Where 
in the registry can I set this? It's because Windows XP home edition does not have 
"gpedit.msc"; this is only available in Windows XP professional. When I copy the 
file "gpedit.msc" from Windows XP professional and launch it in Windows XP home edition, 
"Group policy" launches and an error message appears, saying that snap-in creation 
has failed.

To deny launching of "Task manager" in Windows XP professional...
Start > Run > gpedit.msc > Local computer policy > User configuration > Administrative 
templates > System > Ctrl+Alt+Del options : Remove task manager : Enabled

To disable the task manager:

Copy the text below into notepad
Save it as notm.reg

Save it as file type "all files"
Double click on it and allow it to merge into the registry

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000001



To enable the task manager...use this reg file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"DisableTaskMgr"=-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=-
