Windows 7: Task Manager - Create Elevated Shortcut

Another great tutorial, thanks much! Now if we could only get it started minimized!



Might be helpful to add that option in the tutorial, 'Run/Start Minimized'.

You're welcome Captain Zero. Thank you.

If you'd like to have this new taskman shortcut start up upon system startup/reboots automatically...

1. goto start (orb)
2. all programs
3. right click on "Startup" folder and choose "Open" (or for all pc account users, choose "Open all users")
4. drag taskman icon into the startup folder (or right drag and choose "Copy here" to keep one on the desktop; for when you might accidental close taskman)

While there you can right click on taskman shortcut, choose properties and then choose "Minimized" from the Run drop down.

If you'd prefer to have it startup this way and only see it in the tray, use the taskman option tab and choose "hide when minimized".

Now it will start up automatically to only the system tray on system startup/reboots.

This is a lifesaver.

Thank you

Excellent. Thank you, Shawn

It never occurred to me that Task Manager was not showing all of the processes via CTR-ALT- Delete

You're most welcome Carl.

Hi folks. Brand new member.I've only just upgraded my old Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 from XP pro to Windows 7 Ultimate, and still sorting out some annoyances.

I'd like to thank your Forum guys (Shawn) for Task Manager - Create Elevated Shortcut

I was able, via Task Manager, to "Create Elevated Shortcut" and solve my problem of "Show Processes from all Users", not sticking on when I ticked (checked) it.

Thanks again

You're most welcome Bazza, and welcome to Seven Forums. Thank you.

Great instructions, I somehow got it to work when I first installed Windows 7, but I just reinstalled and forgot what it was that I did! You made it easy though

Quick question, any point in using the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\taskmgr.exe?
