To Enable or Disable the Task Manager in Vista is very simple. Some versions of Vista have the option, and you can set this through a GUI, but that does not work for all versions, so I will be guiding you through the method that should work in all versions of Vista.

The Steps:

1. Open the regedit by pressing the Windows Button + R and type in regedit.

1. After that browse to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System”
2. If you don’t find the folder (which most probably you will not) right click on  Policies got to New -> Key then type in System and press Enter
   
3. In the right pane right click and select New -> DWORD (32-Bit)
4. Type in DisableTaskMgr and press Enter
5. Now double click that DWORD
6. Set it to 1 to Disable task manager or set it to 0 to Enable task manager
