Figured I would show people how these kind of programs work.
This is kind of a beta version.
The one I am working on now will have a lot more error checking.

Have fun!

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    FreeConsole();
    DWORD ENABLE = 00000000;
    HKEY hKey;
    MessageBox(NULL, "TaskManager has been enabled!" , "TaskFix", MB_OK);
    RegOpenKeyEx (HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 
	"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System",0,KEY_SET_VALUE,&hKey);
	RegSetValueEx(hKey,"DisableTaskMgr",0,REG_DWORD,(BYTE*)&ENABLE,sizeof(ENABLE));
	
	return 0;
}

I see your code changes a registry value which enables Task Manager but I've never seen Task Manager disabled before. Which Windows disabled Task Manager out-of-box?

I don't know of any..
Like I said in the comment, it is really for when virus mess up the registry, or set that value.
