Task Manager

In XP, as an Administrator, I was able to log off standard users. I have
several kids and they frequently leave stuff running. In the past, I could
easily go into task manager and log them off. In Vista, this is no longer
possible as I keep getting an Access is denied notification. If this is
true, then Vista is about the only computer system that I have ever heard of
that prohibits the system administrator from bouncing computer users. Is
there something else about this that I should know?

Open Task Manger, then click the "show processes for all users" button on
the Processes tab. Confirm the UAC dialogue. This will reopen Task Manager
with Admin priveleges. You should then have the log off option on the Users
tab.

Hi,

Try what Jane said. Or launch Taskmgr.exe from an elevated Command Prompt.

Too funny. I asked the same question in another way. :-)

my task manager is disabled by administrator. i saw where you posted on the
last question about this to cut and paste that command on the start/run line.
it came back wanting a reply from 'value disable taskmgr exist,overwrite y/n?
how should i respond to this message. my computer is running fine now, but i
do not have a task manager.

Hi Ce Ce,

You would answer Yes to it to apply the command.

You can also see how to enable the Task Manager here to if that does
not work out for you.
