<\/p>\nWas your father born in the same year Windows 95 came \t\tout – er 1995? If he was then he shouldn’t have children yet and you \t\tshouldn’t be born. So the title was just to grab your attention. No EB \t\tthere were no computers around in 1936 – no there was no Windows 36 or \t\tWindows 48. No! No! No! The title was just a joke. Don’t you get it?<\/p>\n
Windows Task Manager in previous versions of Windows was \t\tbasically useless for troubleshooting computer problems. The main reason \t\twhy we used Task Manager in Windows XP was to shutdown non-responsive \t\tprograms. And we’ve covered that aspect of Task Manager in previous \t\tissues.<\/p>\n
But beginning with Windows Vista and continuing in Windows 7, Task \t\tManager offers you new ways to examine your system and really manage \t\ttasks. You can actually use Vista and Seven’s Task Manager as a real \t\ttask manager. It’s great for troubleshooting or just snooping around \t\tunder the hood to see what’s going on – or to learn more about your \t\tcomputer.<\/p>\n
Open Task Manager in Windows Vista or Windows 7 (right-click on an open \t\tarea of your taskbar and select Task Manager). Click the Processes tab, \t\tand in the View menu, click \u201cSelect Columns\u201d and add Description, \t\tCommand Line, and Image Path Name. Also, now when you right-click a \t\tprocess, unlike Windows XP which showed you nothing about that process, \t\tyou can select either \u201cGo to Service(s)\u201d or \u201cOpen File Location” and \t\tactually see where that process is located on your computer and exactly \t\twhat it is.<\/p>\n
The first image below shows you some of the ways you can configure Vista \t\tand 7’sTask Manager to give you valuable information you can use to help \t\ttroubleshoot problems – or just to learn more about the things going on \t\tinside it. The second picture shows you details of a few processes we \t\thad running at the time. You can right-click on any of those items and \t\tgo to the service or open the file location.<\/p>\n
