ctrl-alt delete not normal

[slam]

In winxp why does ctrl-alt delete bring up a funky looking close program dialog. Instead of showing processes, apps etc it only shows endtask, switch to task and something else? how do I put that back to normal?

It is normal.

I must have been unclear.
on winxp new install I would see the following
ctrl alt delete takes me to windows task manager with
file, options, view, help
tabs: applications, processes, performance, network, users
and an end process button.

now I get none of the above except a list of applications and the end button, switch button ...


this is not normal... before I could kill processes now I cannot.

You may have hidden your menus. Simply double click on the window in a border area. All of the menus and tabs should show back up.

Take a look at this picture.

Double click in the red circle area to get a "normal" task manager.
