This problem has been present for I don't know how long. Probably goes as far back as last year... summer of last year. In any case, I've decided it's annoying me and I want to fix it. Could anyone help me please?

I really don't think the Windows Task Manager should look like that.

Double click the window border (above the task label), and it will be back to normal.

This always gets someone. It is an anoying "feature".

"Feature" indeed, as it seems to serve no other purpose than confusing random idiots.

Is there even a way to change tabs in the cut-down window?

What a feature! :D Cycling through invisible tabs is the best UI implementation ever.

I think it was to make it look like the original Win9x task manager.

:P

One problem Microsoft has is they keep updating thier GUI standards but it takes almost a decade later for it to filter down to everything else Microsoft produces.
