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!

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'.

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