Summary: Task Manager can be found or started in a couple different places in Windows.

Where is Task Manager? |
We take it for granted, but it's not always obvious.
Task Manager can be found, or just started, via (at least) two places:
•
Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL
Right-click on the clock in your task bar, and the pop-up menu will include "Task Manager"
Sysinternals Process Explorer is also a great, free replacement for Task Manager with many additional features.

- User Profile
- Scripts
- Logon
- Disk Quotas
- Net Logon
- Group Policy, etc..
My question is: can we add this option back?
tIt seems this option was deleted from the lis..
Thanks..

Posted by: Tom Sheldon at February 7, 2009 1:35 PMMy computer will slow down after a few hours of use. I restart and it runs fine for a short time.
If I try to start using F8 the ONLY "mode" that will work is "reboot" all the others will freeze and not allow me to type my name, also NUM Lock is ON. Any repair ideas?
Thank you,
Tom

Posted by: sarath at March 3, 2009 2:48 AMWhere can i find the settings to enable it
I got to Task Manager (via "Ctrl+Shift+Esc") and it shows "Adela Main" (which is my documents, etc.), but...why would I want to go to my documents this long way, when I can get to it through "My Computer', etc.?
So...what would I use the Task Manager for?
I hope to hear from someone soon?
Thanks so very much!
