Lunchtime Tip: Win 7 Task Manager

Another quickie tip post.

Task Manager has been around a LOOOOONG time, and everyone know it and loves it, right? Well now it has some new abilities. OK, some of these may have slipped into Vista, but everyone hates Vista and loves 7, right?

First Tip: Shortcut Keys

Now this might break your hand, BUT if you can manage a CTRL + SHIFT + ESC, you can pop Task Manager right up.

Second Tip: Threads ‘n More

Hit the View menu item and then “Select Columns”

You can add the following to your Task Manager Processes display:

  • PID (Process Identifier)
  • User Name
  • Session ID
  • CPU Usage
  • CPU Time
  • Memory – Working Set
  • Memory – Peak Working Set
  • Memory – Working Set Delta
  • Memory – Private Working Set
  • Memory – Commit Size
  • Memory – Paged Pool
  • Memory – Non-paged pool
  • Page Faults
  • Page Fault Delta
  • Base Priority
  • Handles
  • Threads
  • USER Objects
  • GDI Objects
  • I/O Reads
  • I/O Writes
  • I/O Other
  • I/O Read Bytes
  • I/O Write Bytes
  • I/O Other Bytes
  • Image Path Name
  • Command Line
  • User Account Control (UAC) Virtualization
  • Description
  • Data Execution Prevention

Yowza! That’s a lot of info right at your fingertips.

Lunchtime is over, so that’s if for today!

Thanks for taking the time to talk about this, I feel powerfully about it and love learning more on this topic. If feasible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more selective information? It is highly helpful for me.
