disabling Task Manager for non Administrator user accounts??

by leeroy / February 17, 2005 9:30 PM PST

I would like to disable Task Manager for nonAdministrator windows accounts. Using gpedit.msc, I see that I can disable it for all accounts, but I don't see any options for selective disabling. Any suggestions?

If you have the OS on NTFS, simply revoke the Read permission on the .EXE that is task manager. With file permissions you can tailor this as specifically as you wish.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
