Title: My Task Manager is messed up
Post by: UPRC on January 16, 2010, 12:33:01 am
So, my Task Manager is missing the tabs up top.

It's been this way for months and I have no idea why, but it's starting to piss me off because I REALLY need access to the second tab (the one that lets you terminate processes and such). Anyone know what's going on here? Or what could have caused this?

i have no idea what's happened but if you press alt+f it may bring up the menu bar, from which you may be able to change views

Double click in the gray area to the left of the "End Task" button and it will restore it to the full version.

Strange... That worked, but what an odd way to fix a problem.

Thanks.

its actually one of the many HIDDEN FEATURES!!! of windows. you can add/remove the menu bar by double clicking unused space in a few programs.

Yeah I've had that happen to my task manager before, haha. Pain in the ass... don't see that mode ever being particularly useful.
