Re: FN-FORUM: XP sp2 Task Manager - lost title bar

date posted 1st July 2006 14:51

OK I give up, Have to admit didn't know about CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, (show my total
ignorance) but have just been told "Task Manager Disabled by Administrator".
I am the dashed admin, and did not disable anything.

So which of Bill Gates friends has climbed inside my box without permission?

How do I regain control of my box, and what did I do to bring this on? NOT
BL**DY FUNNY BILL GATES. Its my box not yours and I will get control back
(MAYBE)

LOST
