In recent past, my personal computer at my home suffered a virus attack in between my previous ani-virus software expired and new ani-virus downloaded. After I installed the Avast anti-virus, it detected several infections. More over I observed that I was no longer able to open task manager. Whenever I used to press "Ctrl+Alt+Del", a message used to pop-up saying similar to "Task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I knew that this damage was caused by the virus attack as I myself is the administrator of my own PC. Also I discovered that the "Run" menu has vanished from the "Start" menu. I was helpless for a moment as I was not able to open "IE" at the same time. All my electronics hobby activities stopped because of this for some time. Some how I had another browser installed, which helped me in access the resources shared by our friends in several websites about the fixes. Thanks to all who have put those information! Finally I could manage to fix it as mentioned below. If you also face a similar issue, execute the following steps.
Step1:
Go to "C:\windows\system32" and click on "gpedit.msc". This will open the group policy editor. Next drill down to "User configuration" --> "Administrative templates" --> "Start Menu and Taskbar".Find "Remove run from start menu". This would be displayed as "Not Configured". Right click on it to display the property. First set “Disable” (followed by clicking on "apply" --> "OK") and next set it back to "Not configured" (followed by clicking on "Apply" --> "OK").
Now you should find run in start menu.
Step2:
Go to "Start" --> "Run", type "gpedit.msc" and press "enter". Drill down to "User Configuration" --> "Administrative Template" --> "System" --> "Ctrl+Alt+Del Options". Right click on "Remove Task Manager" and click on "Properties". The "property" should be set to "Not configured". First set the property to "Disable" (followed by clicking on "apply" --> "OK") and next set it back to "Not configured" (followed by clicking on "Apply" --> "OK").
Now you should be able to invoke the task manager!
Hope you won't need the above tips!!
