knotwurthy Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Right click on an OPEN area of task bar to the right of the "start" and "quick start" area and the left of the "notification tray" to access the Task manager and do other tasks. Must be on an OPEN area in the blue bar, not on a running task. Works on XP and Vista. Not sure about other Windows Op. Systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators TwistedMetal Posted April 17, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2007 I find Alt+Ctrl+Del to be faster. I do it so much, I don't even think about where the keys are, I just do it.

Moderators hazelnut Posted April 17, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2007 Right click on an OPEN area of task bar to the right of the "start" and "quick start" area and the left of the "notification tray" to access the Task manager and do other tasks. Must be on an OPEN area in the blue bar, not on a running task. Works on XP and Vista. Not sure about other Windows Op. Systems. Always done it that way as I find it easier than ctrl-alt-delete.

Humpty Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Only been using the right click taskbar or quicklaunch for Taskmanager for a few months as it took a quite a while to train myself that I don't need to use the "Three Finger Salute".

TheFiresInTheSky Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I used to like ctrl alt del but i found it easier to hit ctrl shift esc. That can be done with one hand too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireryone Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Nice one FiresInTheSky, I forgot about that one I use both Ctrl+Alt+Del or the right click trick. fireryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotwurthy Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 It's great to see discussion on this. Thanks for all of the other suggestions. I had to find an easier way to do it because my left arm and hand is in a cast for a while. I think I will play with starting Task Manager at Boot up, due to suggestions mentioned here. Would be interesting to see what processes are using the most CPU time during boot up. Thank you all for participating.This is a good forum!

Anthony A Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Put in Process Explorer and than select it to replace Task manager in the options. Than what ever method you use to bring up Task Manager you will get Process Explorer which is what Task Manger should have been like in the first place.

Moderators rridgely Posted April 19, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 19, 2007 Very strange thread indeed. I've never known anyone not to use ctrl atl del. I guess I've just been doing it for so long that it just seems strange to use anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted April 21, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 21, 2007 I used to use CTRL+ALT+DELETE in my Win98 days, however on XP I just right click the TaskBar and select Task Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotwurthy Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 ...I had to find an easier way to do it because my left arm and hand is in a cast for a while. I can't use my left hand for a while, therefore I needed another method. (I tried using my right hand and nose to do Alt-Ctrl-Del with no success) I like the 'Process Explorer' suggestion. It has great features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpty Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 A few people have been caught with no tabs in taskmanager, myself included. Double clicking within an empty border of taskmanager and it runs in "kiosk mode" (no tabs), an absolutely useless feature that has caught quite a few unaware. Double clicking again within an empty border gets your tabs back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
