Process explorer will not revert back to task manager

Process explorer lets you replace the functionality of task manager with Process Explorer through a menu item that says "Replace Task Manager". Once you have done this the menu item should change to "Revert to Task Manager" or something like that. It used to do it, now it stays as Replace Task Manager even when Task Manager is already replaced. The only way to revert it is to go into the registry and remove the entry "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe" and remove the debugger entry.

I tried this fix, but had trouble finding that key. The folder "image file execution options" does not exist in my registry. I was wondering if there was anything else I could do.

Just be careful and make sure you are not in the Windows\Current Version, but rather Windows NT\CurrentVersion. Try copy-pasting Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\

I got it to work, thanks for the help. Didn't realise that I was in HKEY_LOCAL_USER instead of MACHINE is all.

Hi Justin,
Thank you for posting the fix for this. It is a minor thing perhaps but still I found it to be quite frustrating.
