Re: Task Manager

The Task Manager simply opens in the upper left of the screen instead of
changing the screen as well. Try opening it both ways to see what I mean.

Re: Task Manager

It still behaves the same for me. I still don't know what you mean.

Re: Task Manager

Give Vista the three finger salute and you get a screen with options. Open
Task Manager from the Task Bar and you just get TM on the upper left of the
screen. Just try it both ways. The behavior of the system is different
according to how you call up TM. It is the same on XP.

Re: Task Manager

When you type into the search box and the icon shows up in the results above
it, right-click on the icon in the search results.
