Power users on Windows will be very well acquainted with the Task Manager. This is the utility that can tell you how hard your CPU is working, what it’s working on, what your memory usage is, or even how much network traffic your computer is currently using. But did you know that it has a “no titlebar” view?
If you want to leave your Task Manager showing on your desktop for a period of time, it can be nice to hide the title bar and gain that space for displaying more information. To do this, simply double-click on the empty area to the right of the tabs. Once it has switched views, you can switch back quickly by double-clicking anywhere on the border.
One bonus tip: If you’re new to the Task Manager, you may not know that you can set it to minimize down to your system tray area. This is a really nice way to keep an eye on how hard your CPU is working at any time. Simply open Task Manager (Start > Run > type “taskman” and press Enter), and in the Options menu, check “Hide when minimized”. Now when you minimize it, the Task Manager will show as a tiny bar graph in your system tray near your system time.
