A few months ago I opened the task manager (ctrl+alt+del) to close a program and I
hit a weird key combination and my screen started looking LIKE this...
How do I get it to change back to where you have tabs like process manager and system performance and stuff?
Thanksnever seen this before??Just CURIOUS, . .

How did you get the icons to paste ?

I wish I COULD help you but I haven't seen this before either.

JpGet icons to paste?  I took a screenshot using the PRTSCN key and copied into notepad and edited it.This is a normal variation of Taskmanager, designed to be custom sized and left on the sceeen while other things are running.  To RETURN to the familiar interface just double click the outside margin of the Taskmanager display.Download "Process Explorer" and set it to take the place of task man... if you use Ctrl+Alt+Del often you will appriciate this...cannotcompute.......  check out the link ....... it will explain it all.

I just recreated exactly what you show in your screen shot ............. Follow the instructions and you will be able to change it back to normal.
