Windows Task Manager Problem

Jun 10, 2005 6:24AM PDT

I have Windows XP SP2..
I?m having a minor problem with Windows Task Manager. When I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete the window pops up like it should. However the top toolbar is missing(File, Edit, View, Tools, Help, Etc). Also, I can?t choose between programs open, processes running, performance, and the other option tabs, they?re gone also. The only thing that remains is the running processes and the option to end them, that?s it. Even the maximize and minimize options are gone. Task manager seems to be in some reduced view or something. I accidentally clicked in the wrong place one day and this happened. I?ve tried everything that I know of, nothing has worked. Do you guys have any ideas?

Yeah, it's pretty stupid, isn't it?

What's the use of not having a boarder? Why do they make it this way anyway?
