I have a user who is a Local Admin on her machine, but the Task Mangaer option is "Greyed Out" as an option. However, anyone else has that option available, even a "restricted user." There are no group policies in affect, because it's a work groupenvironment.

What happens when Ctrl+Shift+Esc is pressed? What happens when taskmgr.exe is run from the run box or at the command line?

What version of windows is this?

No matter how i try to access it. It's still Greyed out. It's like it was turned off on her profile or something. I'm running 2000.

It is possible that there is a group policy in effect because Win2k machines have a LOCAL group policy whether they are part of a domain or workgroup.Task manager can be disabled at: User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon/Logoff inthe local group policy.

Your answer solved the problem and was a big help. I had to disable that feature and restart. Not sure if the default settings are "not configured" or was caused by user error. Thanks again.

You are right it is a profile issue.
Logon as the Admin on the PC in question.
Go to the profile with the problem.
Check Task Manager.
