winxp home task manager problem

[plbata]

When using the administrator account, the task manager is just a window with the running apps, and the end task and create new task buttons. No controls, no tabs for processes or anything. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is?

Thanks

Open Task Manager and move the mouse just inside the border and then double-click. That toggles between all tabs visible or just the active one. How you leave it is what shows up when that account is logged onto.

Tip: go to Options and put a check mark on Hide When Minimized then click on the Minimize button, Task Manager will rest in the System Tray [Notification Area on WinXP] so you can see the CPU usage meter.
