Resolved Question

Task Manager controls vanished

Sep 5, 2011 8:16PM PDT

hello all - I somehow removed the controls on the Task Manager box. One section opens and the only buttons available are "show processes from all users" and "end process". Luckily, with no "close" button available, I can close it by right clicking on its menu icon and hit "close". So what have I done and how to fix it?
thanx - pcwoe
