How to restore my Windows Task Manager menu bar?
This morning (1/27) then I tried to unlock my computer through a boring program Norton 360 use, I have somehow disabled/deleted not only my menu bar in my Windows Task Manager, but the icons that reduce, maximize, and close the screen for both Task Manager. The only way I can shut it down now is by right-clicking on the icon when it appears in my task bar.
Looks like you run the Task Manager using tiny/small footprint.
If you double-click on the empty space around the border of the screen of the Task Manager, it will change from normal mode, and then you should see the tabs you are accustomed to seeing.

How to restore star favorite on the menu bar?
Yet once I accidentally deleted that he tries to delete a bookmark. I don't remember how I got the star back last time.
Go to settings > customize (which is down) as a click and it will take you to a page that shows all the icons you don't have in your toolbar. Simply click the star and drag it in your toolbar, and you are ready to go.

How can I enable the Task Manager after recovering from an attack of Win32.GEMA
Hello
I am running Windows XP SP3.
I have recently had an attack of the Win32.GEMA Trojan horse. Details of it are here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FRansirac.G
I recovered my system using:
AVG Rescue Disk
Kaspersky Rescue Disk
BitDefender Rescue Disk
Scan of MalwareBytes
McAffee analysis
Hitman Pro Scan
Spybot scan
Eusing Registry Cleaner
CCleaner
Overkill maybe? But it worked... Up to now
Apparently, the Trojan horse disables the Task Manager and that is I'm having bad to restore.
I followed the advice in this article from Microsoft - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913623/ - but when I followed this part
To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for a specific user, follow these steps:
- Shut down the computer.
- Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
- Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
- In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
- In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
- In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
- On the file menu, click exit.
- Restart the computer.
N ° 5 says that disable TaskMgr should appear in the right pane, but there is no entry to disable TaskMgr. All it is an icon of the small 'ab' (the default) beside it, then, REG_SZ.
Then I tried to follow this part of the article from Microsoft
To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for all users, follow these steps:
- Shut down the computer.
- Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
- Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
- In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\
- In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
- In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
- On the file menu, click exit.
- Restart the computer.
This time off TaskMgr was in the right pane - this time with a little "ohho? icon followed REG_DWORD
I tried to create a new entry for the current user by copying one for all users, but not joy.
Any suggestions?
CTRL + Alt + Del does not receive any reaction whatsoever, no Ctrl + Shift + Esc or click with the right button on the barv task and selecting the Task Manager
Thank you in anticipation
These KB articles are for a different problem when you receive these messages when you run the Task Manager...
Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)
The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.
The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.
You can fool the malware (and then fix it).
Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.
Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize. I like to call the copy:
c:\windows\system32\jose.exe
Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.
The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).
Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly). If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

How can I reinstall the Task Manager and monitor resource for Win 7?
I saw a lot of similar questions to mine and problems are resolved for the most part because the person is running in mode 'tiny' in the Task Manager. And, while the problem of the poster has been resolved, I must still be able to find an answer that actually answered the question: how to reinstall a task manager and resource monitor?
I don't want to seem rude or obnoxious, but that's all I really need to know. Is it possible to reinstall the Task Manager and resource monitor and how - what is done?
For a more easy, please take the following response,
I am running Windows 7
Parts of the the Task Manager and resource monitor will not run correctly (it isn't tiny mode, everything seems as it should be, they are just not all the work)
I did a lot of research and analysis and virus check
I do not have a file to restore good system (whatever the reason)
I decided that I have to reinstall the program
So my question is simple: how to reinstall a task manager and resource monitor? I can't find a download for it on the Microsoft.com site file; Maybe it's there, but I'm not.
Please don't bother spending time trying to figure what's wrong with my system, you will lose your time (this is the part where I'm really NOT trying to be rude, but I tell you the truth). I did the analysis, controls, etc. etc. I just need to reinstall.
So please, could someone just tell me how to reinstall only the Task Manager and resource monitor. I don't want to have to reinstall the whole system. It seems to me that it is not necessary; It's only two programs. It is possible and if so, how?
I thank very you much for any help. I hope that was clear, so no one loses time on it unnecessarily.
You are welcome.
There is no download for them because they are part of the full operating system.
See you soon.

The Windows Task Manager seems completely wrong - it has no tabs for applications, services, processes, performance and networking, just one size rectangle box SHOW the TASKS of WORKING ON? I use it all the time close process and close programs stuborn. None of these options are CURRENTLY available? The only thing I can think is I went to delete one of my readers WD3.0 data and he says it has been used by another program and I've had that happen before and just go close a lot of the process by typing Control, Alt and delete which opens the windows task manager. I recently changed "System Configuration'under'msconfig" Normal startup to "selective startup" and reduce the number of drivers and programs loading to 'Start Up', as he ran 90 things and slow start. "" "» I have no viruses or malware. I changed the "system configuration" back to normal + restart and that he would remove the progams, or processes that have been intefering with the Western Digital HD software. THIS IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED WINDOWS TASK MANAGER HAS BEEN SCREWED UP.
But I can't because my Windows Task Manager is just a rectangular box with a single word to the top sayingTASKS! Without tab with all the other options as in (program, process, services, performance, and network management).
Would BE AN INTELLIGENT PERSON please TELL ME WHAT TO? I don't want to do a system restore , as I just cleaned it all points this week and just started around and added a bunch of programs and data this week that I let go.
PLEASE HELP ME TECHE AND MICROSOFT. I PAY $250 p/year FOR THIS DELL ALIENWARE MACHINE LOADED due to it's PERFORMANCE AND THEY WILL NOT ANSWER (1) DANG SOFTWARE ISSUE WITH what THEY ARE PAID. THEY WANT $60 - $100 OR MORE TO ANSWER THIS QESTION FRENCH ANOTER. THEY USED TO, WHEN I COULD BUY GOLD SUPPORT BUT THEY SELL ON THIS MACHINE, SO I'M ON MY OWN AND THANKS FOR THE ADVICE LIKE THIS...
The Microsoft Support web site.
The task manager has two different views. For the display that includes menus and tabs, double-click the border of the Task Manager window. To return to the view without menus and tabs, double-click anywhere in the border around the tabs.
We won't have the information mentioned in the first response of Sandsweep.
(I confirmed Microsoft's answer worked.) I must have clicked on the edge of the window Task Manager to have switched over to the second, less familiar view.)

I am running windows 7 64 bit and have encountered a problem. Whenever I have open tasks, any way Manager (msconfig, cntrl shift escape, Ctrl alt del, etc.), task manager opens and white and displays "Windows Task Manager has stopped working". I am increasingly frustrated with the problem. I tried booting in safe mode AND clean boot, but the problem persists. On top of that, the system restore fails whenever I'm trying to do.
Could you please help me get running again the Task Manager?
Do you feel the behavior if you log on with a different user account?
Maybe, try to rename a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager to for example a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager.OLD in the registry. Then try to start the Task Manager again.

CS5->; CS6 upgrade hangs, block the windows Task Manager, does nothing else
Got the CS6 Design Standard update, hoping to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium. Could it be the problem? I don't have all the added bonus and this stuff is ridiculously expensive.
In any case, I put the disc, nothing happens. I run the set - up.exe, the disc spins, then nothing continues to happen. I watched it for up to 5 minutes and nothing.
Set - up.exe isn't in Applications, but it's in the process in windows Task Manager. However, there is no real activity at all. When I try to end the process, WTM crashes. I have to every hard reboot or eject the disc in order to recover.
What gives? I can post PDApp.log if need be, but I don't know how much help it will be.
W7 Pro 64-bit
So it turns out that it was the reader. I installed an internal DVD SATA drive and it ran the update without fault. Just in case someone else stumbles across this post with a similar problem, make sure that you do not install the update of an external USB DVD drive, specifically a Samsung SE-S084. It won't work.
Thanks for the help guys!
