Hidden tabs and menu for Task manager

[mrcf]

I have somehow managed to hide the Menu bar and tabs (applications, processes and performance) on my Task Manager Display. Now the only way to go between the screens is CTRL-Tab.

I have no idea what sequence of keystrokes caused it. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the tabs and menu back?

Thanks

It sounds like you inadvertently double-clicked in the Task Manager window and switched to its stripped-down interface. It's not a bug; it's a feature, designed to give you a clearer, less cluttered picture of system information. To toggle between this resizable window and the normal view, double-click anywhere except within the list box that displays the names of programs and processes.

Double click on the gray border, not in the white area in the center.

Excellent, thanks.

Did I miss where this was documented??

User manuals for computers are notoriously bad or non-existant. On-line documentation is scattered. There are some good books on the different OSs, including Microsoft's "Windows Inside Out" series and "Windows XP Bible" by Alan Simpson. Most of the better books will include bibliographies where you can find other material that focus' on some specific area of interest.

Of course, "Xp For Dummies" (and others like it) are good for quick-referencing different features of your computer.
