CAD Problem

I have inadvertently changed the task manager display to be nothing but
a srceen showing the cpu graph. All of the tabs/buttons are gone. I've
resized it by dragging etc, but nothing helps. I have to hit ESC to
close it as there are no buttons.

How can I restore it?

Double click on the edge to toggle the chrome.

What has this to do with CAD, by the way?

"CAD Problem"? Why is this a CAD problem?

You're running in what's called "Small Footprint Mode." To change back
and forth from this mode to regular mode, just double-click on the
border.

It sounds like you're running Task Manager in "Small Footprint
Mode." Simply double-click anywhere along the top or side borders to
return to a normal view. Alternatively, pressing <Ctrl>+<Tab> will
allow you to cycle between the various displays, and <Alt>+<F4> will
close it.

Task Manager Menu Bar and Tabs Are Not Visible in Windows XP (Applies to
Vista, as well.)

In this case, I think the OP means CAD to represent <Crtl>+<Alt>+<Del>,
rather than the standard "Computer Aided Design."

Ah! You're probably right.

But using a standard abbreviation in a non-standard way is bound to
confuse people.

True, but there are a lot of people who don't know the standard acronyms.

Also true, but all the more reason to be very careful if you try to
make up your own abbreviations. If I told someone that I was going to
RI next week, there would no reason to expect him to understand that I
meant I was going to Rome, Italy (which I am), whether or not he knew
that there was a US state called Rhode Island.

Exactly. Thanks Bruce. I did as you suggested and restored the window.
Sorry for any confusion about the acronym.
