    Hi blaine!

    Here is solution from the Microsoft article about enabling the task manager :

    Enabling Task Manager from Group Policy Editor
    1. Go to “Start” -> “Run” -> Write “Gpedit.msc” and press on “Enter” button.
    2. Navigate to “User Configuration” -> “Administrative Templates” -> “System” -> “Ctrl+Alt+Del Options”
    3. In the right side of the screen verity that “Remove Task Manager”” option set to “Disable” or “Not Configured”.
    4. Close “Gpedit.msc” MMC.
    5. Go to “Start” -> “Run” -> Write “gpupdate /force” and press on “Enter” button.

      Just a side note. The task manager should be available on the task bar. Just point and right click and it should show in a menu. If not, then somebody has messed with your system! ::)
