task manager gimped how to fix

I was cleaning a buddys winxp pro install of the usual malware and did that succesfully but the person/malware who 0wn3d him modified the task manager so that it has no options. i hooked him up with an alternative solution to kill rogue processess but i could not figure how to get tha task manager back to normal. All i get after cntrl+alt+del is the rectangle box with the user no options whatsoever. I looked into registry mussing and all i found is how to disable it completely, can someone please clue me in? On a side note are security logs enabled by default on xp pro?

Double-Click on the right of the box. (by the scroll bar)

I did that on accident once...

EDIT: Sorry for all the edits... Its late and I'm still up. Preparing for a killer weekend at Ocean Shitty Maryland (Ocean City MD)... :)

Thanx, lmao , figures i bypassed the easy for the hard. Shoulda listened to occam. Now why the hell can this silly thing be done, what use does it have? (other than confounding dummies like me?)

Confusing you is reason enough for me! :D

BTW:

When you are in that mode, you can use the left and right arrow keys to move between the menus.
Then right click over a process/task to kill.

Make sure you've not highlighted anything...

tab or shift-tab to move between window select and the contents of the window.
