Windows XP Question - Taem - 02-27-2008
Does anybody here know how to enable Windows Task Manager at startup? And if so, how to make sure it is enabled minimized?
Windows XP Question - Arnulf - 02-28-2008
Interesting little exercise:
Right-click the start button
select Open
open the Programs folder
you should see all your start menu applications folders
open the Startup folder
if that does not exist create one
right-click the empty space and select New -> Shortcut
enter "taskmgr.exe" (without quotes)
tap Enter twice
now right-click the new shortcut
from the drop-down menu Run: select minimized
restart computer to verify it worked (it did with mine)
hope this helps

Hi,
I have WinXP Pro. I used XP lite a free list to remove unwanted programs from running when I first installed XP, however the next install I did not use XP lite. :P
I Found this while Surfing.
