Task Manager

[Guest gary]

Why are some applications -- Excel, TextPad, Word, etc -- listed TWICE

in the Task Manager?

 

(Other applications -- Task Manager, Firefox, etc -- are listed only

ONCE)

Yes, but only in Task Manager's "Applications" window.(not in

"Processes"). Right now, the "Applications" window shows:

 

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

Did you start them twice? Highlight and do an end task.

No, I started the applications only once.

Re: Task Manager

 

This is typical when you have more than one file open in Office. With

NotePad or WordPad, you'd have individual windows for each instance, but

with Office apps (I don't know about TextPad), there's an entry for each

open document, even though you only have the application open "once". When

you see these duplicates, do you also see multiple buttons on the Taskbar,

one corresponding to each entry?

 

If that doesn't explain what you're seeing, then you should ask in an

appropriate Office NG.
