I've tried the MS solutions http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555480 and no
luck.I've tried your solution below, and it's already set to zero. However,
the following tabs I couldn't find the Group Policy Object of the DisableCad:

Thanks,
Reg

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DisableCAD"=dword:00000000

Any solutions? I've tried everything I can find.
