Task Manager Menus and Display

Guest

Hi all. I am using Win XP Pro.

The other day while everything was running really slow and freezing up, I
was looking at how the processor was going, and I was clicking, dragging etc
around the Task Manager screen (I have no idea exactly what I did).

The end result is that all the file menus (view etc), tabs, and the blue
header bar with all the shutdown, minimise options etc have been removed, or
at least are not visible anymore. I can now only see the Task and Staus
table columns and the buttons for End Task, Switch To and New Task.

Can anyone help me in restoring this tool to its original state?

Many thanks.

Task Manager Menu Bar and Tabs Are Not Visible in Windows XP

This behavior may occur if Task Manager is running in Tiny Footprint mode. If you
double-click the empty space in the border around the tabs, Task Manager switches to
this mode.
To switch Task Manager to its typical display mode, double-click the top border of
the window.
