Your welcome kris. Thanks for your visit to Devils Workshop.
Cool Thanks bud! my brains were going out why this is happening, can you explain more on why this happens?
@Zeeshan
It happened long time back to me.
Still as I remember, the reason was some other program which on execution disables registry editing.
I can’t remember the program name but basically the command above in this post adds key to registry.
Key is - DisableRegistryTools with value 0. This sets disabling to false.
Thanx dude,
But is there a similar script to enable task manager also??

Solution for your problem is published here.
I guess you were getting error: “Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator”
Thanks. But some dll is setting the DisableRegistry to true whenever IE is invoked (invoking FireFox is OK, no problem).
Does anybody knows how to remove the dll invoked by IE startup that writes to the registry to disable regedit?
@Cheong
First sorry for late reply as I was offline on a long vacation.
Now you can try following few things…
First don’t use IE. I am really wondering why do you need it when you know about Firefox???
Second create a REG file or a shortcut or a batch file, so that you can run command described above everytime you done with IE.
Finally scan your PC for viruses/malwares as it seems infected.
Rest feel free to reply if you have any further problems…
