Windows 7 task manager

[ultimatehandyman]

Does anyone know how to close down Windows 7 task manager?

I have had to start it a few times, by pressing ctrl,alt+Del

But there does not seem to be a way to close it down again as there is no cross in the top right!

Hi Chez,

Just tried mine and I have a Red Close Cross top right hand corner!

It's opened in footprint mode.

Double-click on the border somewhere.

Just sussed it out.

I pressed esc when it was open and it closed

I'll try the double click on the border though

Thanks for the replies

Double clicking the border brought the shutdown cross back

Glad I sorted that out. I was just shutting down PC to get rid of it previously.

Don't know why it did that, it has done it since day one

To get the task manager to open in Win 7 press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys, not the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys, They take you to the 'Switching screen'.

Don't know why it did that, it has done it since day one

you may have double clicked it by accident on 'Day 1' or it was just loaded that way.
