I have the i7-920;

A while back I turned off hyper-threading through the BIOS.
I turned it back on today, and noticed that Windows Vista task manager still only shows 4 cores.

I looked in device manager, and I see 8 items listed under Processors.

Is there anything that I should be concerned about? How can I confirm that HT is indeed, enabled?

Run msconfig and make sure that the Number of processors box isn't checked. Also go into your bios and make sure all 4 cores are enabled.
You've only got half an i7-920 working for you at the moment.
 
unclewebb, thanks for your suggestion!
Unchecking "number of processors" did the trick.
