If you receive a message that indicates that the Administrator has turned off my access to Task Manager, but the Administrator didn't do it intentionally, you can log on with administrative privileges and  run FixCAD.bat, which contains:

@echo offsetlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSIONcall :setcomp>nul 2>&1FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%a in ('REG QUERY HKU^|FIND /V "_Classes"') do ( set line=%%a if "!line:~41,1!"
