Hi there,

Can someone remind me of the Run command to allow me to show all the
currently running processes and applications? I have a problem with Outlook
2007 locking up and suspect it's running more than one version so I just
need to double check that, but I don't remember the Run command.

Thanks so much!

Lynn
 
Hi Lynn,

Right-click an empty space on the Taskbar and click on Task Manager.
 
To start Task Manager:

Ctrl + Alt + Delete
or
Ctrl + Shift + Esc
or
Right click the Taskbar | Click on Task Manager
or
Start | Run | Type: taskmgr | Click OK
or
Create a Desktop Shortcut to taskmgr.exe
or
Double click on C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe

Ctrl + Alt + Delete opens the Windows Security window if the Welcome screen
is turned off.

Turn on the Welcome screen...
1. In Control Panel, click User Accounts.
2. Click Change the way users log on or off.
3. Click to select the Use the welcome screen for fast and easy logon check
box.
4. Click OK.
