On my school, I don't even see the RegEdit.
But nice tutorial.

You could just create a .reg file as backup so that you don't even have to remember the filepath or anything else but where your .reg file to make these changes exists.

And how do you make a .reg file?
RE: How to enable Task Manager (if disabled) - AceInfinity - 04-19-2012
Save this as a text file with the .reg extension:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000Example: "EnableTaskManager.reg"
