Guest chrissyd Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Hi - can anyone tell me why my Windows Task Manager has lost its top blue bar, its File/Options/View/Help drop downs below and its Apps/Processes/Perf/Networking tabs ? All I get is a box with open applications in it and the only way I can close it is to right click on the green icon in the task bar to get <close>. Thanks in advance, chrissyd.

It sounds as if you have Task Manager running in "Tiny footprint mode". Double click the border to restore it to its original appearance. Why is part of my Task Manager gone? http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/6905 Good luck Nepatsfan

You're running in what's called "Small Footprint Mode." To change back and forth from this mode to regular mode, just double-click on the border. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
