Task Manager

Is there an easy way to launch task manager? I am lost without it and going
thru help all the time is a pain.

right click your taskbar (at the bottom)... you'll see it.

Right click on the Task Bar and choose Task Manager.

Also, enter- taskmgr into the search bar in the start menu. It will find
it... then right click it. You'll see options to Pin it to the start Menu or
add it to Quick Launch.

Re: Task Manager

I'll be darned. Of all the years I've used Windows, I've never see it there.
I always used the 3 finger salute. It pays to read newgroups.

Re: Task Manager

Didn't get the options you mention. Only launches. It would be nice in
quick launch.
