Stupid Question!

Is there anyway you can put icon on your desktop to invoke Task Manager. I
currently have to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and then select Task Manager.

Looked in the Windows directory but cannot find an icon associated with task
Manager.

Yours in anticipation.

taskmgr.exe is Task Manager.

Right click Desktop, point to New and click on Shortcut.
Paste this in the box:
%windir%\system32\taskmgr.exe
Click Next.
Name it Task Manager or Bob or Sue and click Finish.

To start Task Manager:

Ctrl + Alt + Delete
or
Ctrl + Shift + Esc
or
Right click the Taskbar | Click on Task Manager
or
Start | Run | Type: taskmgr | Click OK
or
Create a Desktop Shortcut to taskmgr.exe
or
Double click on C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe

Hope this helps. Let us know.
