Task Manager Window Problem

[Bob Weber]

My Windows Task Manager popup window suddenly lost the outer frame that has
the minimize, maximize and close icons. I also lost the menu bar that has
File, Options, View, Windows, Shutdown and help. I also lost the 5 tabs.
All that remained was a white rectangle with the word Task and Status at the
top and End Task, Switch To and New Task along the bottom. Once I press
Ctrl+Alt+Del to call up the Task Manager I can't get rid of it except to
restart my computer. I did a restore by going back a week and all is now
ok. Does anyone know what caused this so I won't do it again?

Hi

Double clicking the edge of the Task Manager will right it. You have no
need to use System Restore.

Thanks for the quick reply Will. I have 2 more questions about this
'feature'.
Where is this 'feature' documented?
What is it's purpose since it totally messes up use of the task manager?

Hi

Apparently nobody knows why it happens - and I don't know. It's just one of
those 'things'.
