Here's How:

1. Click Start
   
2. Click Run
   
3. Type REGEDIT
   
4. Click OK The Registry Editor will now open
   
5. Browse to the following key:
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system
   
6. In the right pane, look for the value: DisableTaskMgr
   
7. Right click DisableTaskMgr and select Delete. (When prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete this value", select Yes.
   
8. Now browse to the following key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
   
9. In the right pane, look for the value: DisableTaskMgr
   
10. Right click DisableTaskMgr and select Delete. (When prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete this value", select Yes.
    
11. Close the Registry by choosing File | Exit
