Windows Task Mgr - Lost Menu & Tabs at top???

[Ed]

For some reason totally foreign to me, I have a Task Mgr without a Menu
and Tabs. I can only see the current application(s) running and not the
processes or the graphs etc. There is nothing but a straight line at
the top of the Task Mgr.

Does anyone have any idea of how to restore the menu and tabs at the
top of the task manager and possible how it could have happened?

Thank you!

If sounds as if you have Task Manager running in "Tiny
footprint mode". Double click the border to restore it to its
original appearance.

Why is part of my Task Manager gone?

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.

You got into this mode by doing this inadvertently.

As long as you're fiddling with Task Mgr, try Process Explorer from
www.sysinternals.com.

It can replace Task Manager and shows much more info.
