no task manager/regedit/cmd/msconfig

Hi all i hope i'm doing things right here, i read through the sticky for the task manager disabled thingy and i cant try any of the options coz of the following

1) when i hit ctrl+alt+del i get the message "Task manager has been disabled by your administrator"
I'm in my admin account, same thing happens in safe mode as well
2) when i try to run 'cmd' i get the same message "...disabled by your administrator"
3) i cannot run regedit.exe from the run console
4) msconfig is disabled as well
5) i cannot access folder options in my explorer under the tools tab

O/S - Windows XP SP2
A/V - Nod 32 2.7
Anti spy - Ad-aware/Spybot

i have used the following AV solutions so far, Norton,AVG,E-scan,Mc-affe and currently i'm using Nod32 2.7 as i found nod had found and healed/deleted more viruses as compared to the rest i have used earlier, but even nod is not detecting this one, along with nod i'm using spybot and ad aware.

I had installed a program which gives me total control to disable things for user accounts called 'Security Administrator'
When i loaded the program again after i got the disabled message for task manager i found my task manager and registry editing tools in my admin account were disable so i enabled them and tried to get Task manager up that didnt work as well.
I'm at my wits end and i dont feel like doing another re-install, i have attached my HJ log as well
thanks
