Task Manager craziness

[Guest]

Hi,

My Task Manager has managed to mangle itself. Whenever I open it (either by
pressing Ctrl-Shift-Esc, right-clicking on the taskbar and choosing Task
Manager, or running 'taskmgr') It just appears on the processes tab, with no
status bar, no border, no caption bar, no menus, and no tabs along the top.
All I have is a list of processes. I can click and drag near the top of the
window and it moves. The icon on the taskbar is just an icon with no text,
instead of "Windows Task Manager" or whatever it is supposed to be.

Can someone help me with this weird problem?

Thanks for your help!!

Double click on the grey edge.

Thanks for your help! It works now. How did I do that in the first place?

One way is you opened it then inadvertently double clicked the edge.
Then since the X to close was not available, you right clicked and closed
from the Notification area.
