Wow, some of these are quite useful (who needs balloon tips anyway) But some of these are kind of odd... For example what reason would there be to disable the task manager... That makes it kind of hard to deal with programs that go wrong... which is a lot of them in Windows.

For your Task Manager question. I'm not really sure, but I guess a administrator might want to disallow users to access the Task Manager. It would sound silly though since the Administrator should be able to grant users what features a normal user can access - probably using gpedit (XP Pro).
