which shows a popup "task manager disabled by system administrator" or right
clicking on the desk top where the tab is not clickable i am the system
administrator and there are no other accounts on this computer i have run
search find and can only find how to use windows task manager with links to
open it which do not work either. i am running a pavillion with sp2 installed
