For Task Manager:
In XP professional or Vista Ultimate Go to Run and type gpedit.msc. Then go to User Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Ctrl+Alt+Delete options. Then Select Remove Task Manager and click on disabled. This will enable the task manager.

For Folder Options
Go to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\ Explorer” and to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\ Explorer”. Create or modify the DWORD Value called NoFolderOptions, and set it to 0 to show the Folder Options. Reset it to 1 to enable the folder options.

For Registry Editor
This method will actually show how u can disable access to registry editor and then regain access.
Be careful not to lock yourself out of the Registry, once you enter the following key into the registry, you will not be able to use Regedit to undo the change. So before using this setting create a “.reg” file that will re-enable access to the registry editor. The file should have the value “DisableRegistryTools” set to 0. Go to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System”. Create a new DWORD value called DisableRegistryTools and set its value to 1.

Now to re-enable access create a *.txt file and change its extension to *.reg , then right click and select edit.Copy and paste following code to it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;Enable the registry access
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000

Now save the file and dbl click it to run. Select Yes from the message which appears. This method works perfectly well for xp professional and should work for all ver of vista.
