no task manager

Somehow I seemed to have lost entirely my task manager, and have read this post, that post , and have virtually tried everything in the world to get it back---"sfc \scannow",,,"regedit.exe"(where you able or dis-able the task manager, the value), and after extensive research into, and on the 'task manager" am at a complete loss here? Oh where oh where did my task manager go, and how oh how do I get it back? Isn't there some way to simply re-install it? I mean seriously if you can suggest it I very likely already have already tried it to absolutely no avail except maybe re-installing windows (please nooooo, anything but that).Any help in this matter would greatly be appreciated. Thank you

    Hi K,

    Try going to Start/Run.  In the dialog that pops up type "taskmgr" without the quotes and hit enter.  That should bring up Task Manager.  If it doesn't come up then the program has probably been deleted from your system, check the recycle bin.  If it's not there you can search for the file "taskmgr.exe" it should be in your Windows/System32 folder.  If you find it anywhere else move it to there and try again.

    Good Luck,  LDB

    Thank you there MonsterDawg I thought it was lost forever, on the other hand when I typed into "run"..."taskmgr" it clearly says that another program is using the file (hmmmmm) but for the life of me can't figure out what program would be using it to the point of where I can't access it?? So if maybe you could help me in the right direction there?????  But at any rate at least it isn't gone just in-accessable for the moment,and  I have a solid start on the problem,,,,,Thank you again MonsterDawg
    The only program I have recently installed to stop "pop-ups" (highly recommended) is "Stopzilla, would that take control of the task manager????
