Task Manager
When I do Alt-ctrl-delete, or click on the Task Manager Icon in the windows system 32 file, in Win 7 it brings up somthing else.
How do i correct this? It used to work.
Thanks!!

Welcome, Bob!
I am not sure what are you asking though.
Pressing ctrl-alt-del brings me to a screen with options to lock the computer, switch user, change password, log off, and start the task manager.
If you just need the task manager, then you can right-click on the taskbar and choose the task manager from the pop-up menu.
I have never before tried clicking on the task manager icon in the system32 folder - it's so much easier from the taskbar, but I tried it now and it starts the task manager right away, as one would expect.
So, are you saying this is not the behavior you observe? If not, then what exactly happens when you do this?
It brings up a screen giving various choices. The last choice is start task manager. Thats what happens on my computer.
If you feel it is not working, you can try in a Administrator account, type cmd in search. In CMD, type sfc /scannow. See it that helps.
He means selecting the manager from the ctrl alt del screen.
Try opening the command prompt as the administrator and typing in :
sfc /scannow
It sounds like something may have gotten mixed up in the Windows settings, and this command will scan and try to repair corrupted files.
Happens to us all. Not a problem. The OP now knows that several members have the same solution.
I think the OP is new to 7, and skipped Vista entirely, so he is expecting the system to work like XP... where alt-ctrl-del went directly to task Manager.
