You can "redo" your profile.

Logon with the working profile
Goto C:\Documents and Settings and rename the non working profile to "Kungfu_old" [example]

Logon with the "Kunfu" profile again.
When you go to "Documents and Settings" again, it will look something like this:

Kungfu
Kungfu_old

Then what you do is copy your "My Documents", "Favorites" ect from "Kungfu_old" to the "Kungfu" profile.

Voila! Profile recreated. It might be a long way. But this is how I do it. :)

Or click start run

Clear the text box and type Regedit click ok

browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

if there is a dword value called DisableTaskMgr = 1 then change it to
0

It shouldnt even be there
