When I press 'CONTROL + ALT + DELETE', the screen only appears with the Task Manager and there are options like, "Shut Down", "Log Off", "Task Manager", etc etc, like this, http://www.du.edu/ut...ml/taskmana.gif. and how do I change the Task Manager option so the Task Manager appears like a pop-up like this, http://www.jegsworks...nager-winxp.gif?

Your Task Manager is now running in "Tiny Footprint" mode. To change it back to the normal view, double-click on the blue area at the top. That will change it back to what you want...just like the picture in the second link you posted.

Can you explain it to me a little better? If the normal window is not what you are trying to get, then I guess I don't understand... :tazz:

okay. i will explain more specifically.

i am trying to change the option of pressing control + alt + delete as the one window with nothing in the background screen to just a pop-up window of the task manager when i press control + alt + delete.

although, i am useing service pack 2 for windows xp. is this default with service pack 2? becuz in my windows XP without service pack 2, it just showed as a pop-up screen for task manager.

so can you help me now?
