1. In a text editor, such as Notepad, create a new text document named Test.vbs.
2. Paste the following code into Test.vbs:

   strComputer = "."
   Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
   & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
   & strComputer & "\root\subscription")
   
   Set obj1 = objWMIService.Get("__EventFilter.Name='BVTFilter'")
   
   set obj2set = obj1.Associators_("__FilterToConsumerBinding")
   
   set obj3set = obj1.References_("__FilterToConsumerBinding")
   
   For each obj2 in obj2set
                   WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
                   WScript.echo obj2.GetObjectText_
                   obj2.Delete_
   next
   
   For each obj3 in obj3set
                   WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
                   WScript.echo obj3.GetObjectText_
                   obj3.Delete_
   next
   
   WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
   WScript.echo obj1.GetObjectText_
   obj1.Delete_

3. After you run this script, the Event ID 10 messages stop appearing in the Application log. However, you have to manually clear any previous Event ID 10 messages.

   Note Make sure that you only delete the appropriate Event ID 10 messages. There may be other pertinent Event ID 10 messages that you do not want to delete.

Or

strComputer = “.”

Set objWMIService = GetObject(“winmgmts:” _
& “{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\” _
& strComputer & “\root\subscription”)

Set obj1 = objWMIService.ExecQuery(“select * from __eventfilter where name=’BVTFilter’ and query=’SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA “”Win32_Processor”" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99′”)

For Each obj1elem in obj1

set obj2set = obj1elem.Associators_(“__FilterToConsumerBinding”)

set obj3set = obj1elem.References_(“__FilterToConsumerBinding”)

For each obj2 in obj2set

WScript.echo “Deleting the object”

WScript.echo obj2.GetObjectText_

obj2.Delete_

next

For each obj3 in obj3set

WScript.echo “Deleting the object”

WScript.echo obj3.GetObjectText_

obj3.Delete_

next

WScript.echo “Deleting the object”

WScript.echo obj1elem.GetObjectText_

obj1elem.Delete_

Next

Some time ago I received an email from a reader curious why their Task Manager option was grayed out on the taskbar right-click menu. After a bit of research his problem was solved, and now I’m sharing the solution with everybody.

There is a registry key that will disable Task Manager, although it’s not always clear how or why it was set to disable. In many cases the problem is related to spyware, so you should also scan your computer.

Why is task manager grayed out?

Manual Registry Hack

Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then navigate down to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

On the right-hand side is a 32-bit REG_DWORD value named DisableTaskMgr with one of two values:

• 1 – Disable task manager
• 0 – Enable task manager

Just double-click and change the value, or even delete the key. The change should take place immediately.
