A. This can be done using the registry as follows
Start the Registry Editor
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftwindowscurrentversionPolicies
If the System key does not exist create it
Add a new value of type DWORD called DisableTaskMgr and set to 1
Exit registry editor
This can also be done using the policy editor
Start the Policy editor
Select the User, or edit the default User
Goto Shell/Restrictions and select "remove Taskbar from user"
To remove Task Manager for all users just rename taskmgr.exe to somethingelse, or if it is on a NTFS partition you can set the permissions so normalusers cannot access it.
