"The Task Manager icon" - what is the path to the Taskmgr.exe?

• RESOLVED: The Task Manager icon in the system tray

  I always keep my task manager running as an icon in the system tray.  After an update of software that seems to be an update of Windows XP or IE7, I can minimize is no longer my status bar task manager system; the icon is no longer present.  I have not changed the settings view in the Task Manager bar; they are all checked.  Now, I have to keep the Task Manager minimized in the taskbar instead.  [None of the taskbar settings were changed to icons in the system tray as I downloaded the SP3 for XP over 3 years ago.]  Could it have been caused by the update or y at - it a way to get the Task Manager to reduce in the tray system again?  Thank you.

  I tried all types of features troubleshooting before coming here, including a full analysis of the antiviral software from my system & checking event viewer.  I even went in the registry to see if something happened to the system tray.  BUT... The action to be performed by the most obvious and which should have been the first, I failed to do - restart.  Due to an another software update of my antiviral package yesterday, 22/02/2012, I needed to restart.  After the reboot, the Task Manager icon returns to the system tray and minimization has not caused to disappear.

  The only thing I can conclude is that something has gone wrong during the update of the software of MS Windows and installation of KB2660456, KB2647516-IE7, & KB2661637.  It was the only thing that happens so that I was with MS Paint, no browser was opened or other software packages on except what is necessary to update the files over an internet connection.  To take a hit to what it was exactly would be silly because any number of operations might have bothered with or temporarily created a small problem with the properties of the view Task Manager.

  So I chalk it up to did not not the most basic 'Fixer glitch", reboot, in my haste to find a culprit.  I hope that my blunder will remind others not not forget to start with the basics for sudden failures troubleshooting.  Thank you for your time and your advice.

• 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:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
  3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
  6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  7. On the file menu, click exit.
  8. 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:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
  3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\
  5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
  6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  7. On the file menu, click exit.
  8. 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.

• What programs from Task Manager windows peux turn off to improve performance?

  I would try to speed up the newspaper at the time, seems a bit slow, it seems that something is running in the background at startup, do not know how to find out what it is.

  Also can I turn off all windows task manager of programs to increase performance?

  Windows key + R--> type:
  Msconfig
  See the Startup tab for everything that loads the startup/logon.  Then determine which ones that you don't need and learn how to permanently change their settings through their own configuration and/or manual change.

  Everything in the Task Manager is what you see when you look through the Startup tab - as well as everything you ran manually or startup items for you.  It's just to show you what is running.

  What are the characteristics of your machine in general?  Processor (brand, speed, number of cores), amount of system memory, amount of video memory (and if it is shared) and what your specific operating system?

• What is (Security Task Manager)?

  What is (Security Task Manager)? I opened the Task Manager and noticed that I have too many running .exe files. When I googled the names of Web sites, such as www.Neuber.com and www.file.net, .exe files, give the possibility to download (Security Task Manager). The first 2 lines that I have google Isass.exe and msseces.exe and the two websites mentioned the possibility of .exe files is a virus, Trojan, spyware, adware or worm.

  Security Task Manager is designed to detect all the tasks and processes running on a computer and can alert you to potential security risks. The program is designed by Neuber in Germany.
  However, it is not designed to rid your system of spyware, virus, or trojan so if you think you have one, you'll need a spyware remover or antivirus program.

• Satellite C670D-10W - Task Manager shows 100% CPU usage

  My new laptop with windows 7 factory-installed and all programs by Toshiba nothing addded present 100% of the CPU usage in the task Manager and works quite slow. The sum of 80 strange process in the Task Manager is never more than 30 to 50%, but the key is always 100%.

  Process hacker I tried 2, shows the same process in Task Manager.
  What can be the problem?

  Hey Malki,

  He run a background process and they need the CPU usage that of normal. Antivirus is running in the background like other tools as well. As far as I know after the installation of recovery the defragmentation tool runs also in the background.

  Interesting to know is what problem you have. I mean usually the CPU usage is not important if you can do everything and computer works correctly.

  You have problems?

• My task manager does not work

  I have not been able to get my task manager to work for weeks.  I ran all virus scan, malware bites, ccleaner reg scan and scan Norton 360 and I have not been able very well the problem, I still ran HJT and have not been able to find or figure out what to do.

  The KB555480 is correct (it might work sometimes perhaps) If you have XP Pro and if you do make a mistake, change the registry and if that is your only problem, but it is unlikely in the case of a malware infection.  He also doesn't correct the symptom of the problem and does not really solve the actual problem.

  You get an error message on the Task Manager is disabled, or you see just a brief flash of the hourglass?

  If no error message and Yes don't brief hourglass, do this first part:

  Sounds like malicious software prepares and he doesn't want you can use the Task Manager to find and remove it.  He knows what you are going to use and do not run these tools.  He wants you to reinstall your XP instead.

  You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

  Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\system32 folder 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.

  If the Task Manager opens, the problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a process (it could well one day that), then you just have to outsmart it.

  Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:

  Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/

  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

  If you receive a message that the task manager has been disabled, you need to fix it with the following:

  If your task manager is afflicted in this way, there are probably many other things which do not too much that you don't know yet - as the registry, the system restore and the command prompt Editor, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  Unless you have disabled these tools on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and delete, so that the malware disables you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running.

  All malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system.

  The malware will be happy to fool into thinking you have to so something drastic to fix your system - how to use a System Restore Point, perform a repair, or even to reinstall XP from scratch.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system were on the end (you or an administrator has made them) or some malware, if analysis tools let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).  If your system contains afflictions like these, your malicious software tools have already failed to protect your system anyway.

  The Manager of difficult tasks, Command Prompt, the registry editor and the restoration of the system at a time (if they need fixing or not).  The process is the same for XP Home and XP Pro.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  Open Notepad to create a new text file:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  notebook

  Copy and paste the following lines in bold text in the new Notepad file.

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableRegistryTools" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
  "DisableCMD" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
  "DisableCAD" = DWORD: 00000000
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableConfig" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableSR" = -.
  

  Save the new text file with the extension .reg on your desktop with a name, you can remember, something like:

  enableit.reg

  After you save the file, close Notepad.

  Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

  Answer Yes to the following question: are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  If you see a message that the registry editor has also been disabled, we will need to enable it first (differently).

  You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

  Depending on the circumstances, your tools can work right away, but in order to avoid the 'does rebooting your system?' question later, go ahead and reboot your system and test it.

  Allow the tools in this way only solves the symptom of malware infection, but does not solve the real problem (the infection) so you're not quite done yet - your system might still be infected.
