How2NotFail

This happened to me a long time ago, when I first started using windows, and I had NO idea how to fix it. All you see is a nice compact little border around your tasks, with no way to get back to the higher functions of your task manager. The File, Options, View, etc are gone, and you can’t even click the close button. It’s actually not broken! That, as with all ‘fun’ windows quirks, is a feature.

How Do I Fix It?

Double click any grey area in your task manager that isn’t a button or a menu item. This will toggle your window mode back and forth between the original and compact view.
