The Windows Task Manager can be launched via
Ctrl + Shift + Esc, or by Alt + Ctrl + Delete, as well as by right
clicking the Taskbar and choosing Task Manager from the options in the
contextual menu that pops up. The Windows Task Manager in Vista is
designed to run with standard user privileges, and as such, will not
deliver a User Account Prompt. The tool will permit you to manage
Applications, Processes, Services, and to monitor Performance,
Networking and the active Users through the corresponding tabs.
If you are looking to kill a program that is
not responding, identify the process associated with a certain program
or simply check the CPU cycles or the amount of system memory cached,
then Task Manager is the simplest and most accessible tool.
