Task Manager Problem

RPT · 05-26-2007, 07:42 PM

I am running XP Pro SP2. I have had a strange thing happen to Task Manager. Whenever I'd access it before (through CTR+ALT+DEL or through the taskbar menu), I'd get a number of different option, such as active tasks, programs running (including the memory and CPU they were using), CPU & memory output, etc. Now, suddenly, all I'm getting is active tasks. Also, I can only exit it through an icon in the system tray. I don't know what I did, but I must have done something. How do I undo it?
Thanks!

You are in kiosk mode. To go back to normal mode, double click on the very edge of the window. Thats how you toggle between the different modes. Why they even have that mode is beyond me, not useful at all.

Thanks again for your patience!
