Ctrl alt delete

[TA]

When I press ctrl alt delete I get the task thing open (can't remember its
proper name) but the tabs at the top where you get processes, users and
applications is missing. Even the X to close it is gone. I have rebooted but
it hasn't made the slightest difference. Does anybody know how to get it
back to how it was?

TIA

It's ok I hav got it sorted. I found a solution after googling for it. I
remebered it is called the task manager.

Maybe, since you posed a question for assistance, you should close your
request by providing how you figured out and fixed your problem as well.....
as a courtesy..

The answer is to double click on the grey edge around the task manager
window.

Yes. 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.
Almost certainly you got there by doing this inadvertently

By the way, for future reference, you can close a program without clicking
on the "X." Just right click it on the task bar and choose "Close."
