Task manager (Control, Alt. Delete) problems, can you help?

I've had my Dell computer for 3 years and I am virtually the only person who has ever used it. As most computers do, until a few days ago, whenever I press the Cont. Alt. Del. keys at the same time, the task manager would open up to allow me to restart, cancel applications, etc. However, a beginning a few days ago, now when I press the Cont. Alt. Del. keys, a box pops up that says, "Task manager has been disabled by your Administrator." First of all, I AM the administrator, and second of all, I don't know how I disabled it, if I did. Does anyone know where I can go to enable the Task Manager? I've looked everywhere in the Control Panel, including Admin. Tools, and can't find where to enable the Task Manager. Can anyone help? Thanks!!
Answer:

Virus. Someone or something has changed the ACL on the application or you've been demoted to sub-adminstrator status. This can be done by a virus. Restore to the point in time when it last worked and make sure you're using a good virus protector.
