Re: Task Manager

Hi KM,

Many thanks - the account concerned is the pc admin account, and other
non-administrator limited accounts get the normal Task Manager app while all
my main admin acc. gets is this limited one-tab "Disconnect User" window.
I'm not that technical and suspect attempts to edit the registry might
compound the problem, but willing to try. The fact remains - if a program
freezes, and I want to "End Task" through Task Manager on my admin account,
all I get is a useless tiny window with "Disconnect User" or "Logoff", which
doesn't help. I just want the normal Task Manager screen back - please help!
