Process Explorer has an option which I have used recently called “Replace Task Manager.”. Now, every time CTRL + ALT + DEL is pressed on my system Process explorer comes up. However unfortunately despite what the documentation says the option does not change to “Restore Task Manager.”.
I have looked for all instances of the taskmgr.exe located on my computer and despite them clearly being the original taskmgr.exe file – running any of them opens the system internals process explorer. If I delete the process explorer file and attempt to open task manager I get a file not found error.
So could someone please inform me is there a registry hack or API call (I assume registry hack) that I can make to resolve this issue?
