Windows NT Task Manager
The Windows NT Task Manager is a very versatile system "tool" that enables us to perform some basic pc diagnostics, change our passwords, lock your workstation, logout of your account and shutdown our pcs.
To Launch the NT Task Manager: hold down Ctrl+Alt+Delete (also known as the "Windows 3-fingered salute")
You'll get a screen with a blank background and a box that looks something like this:
(Note: I couldn't get a screen capture of this box, so the above was created with MSPaint, it's not an exact replica, but it gives you an idea of what you'll see.)
From this screen, you can:
Lock Your Workstation: click on the "Lock Workstation" button (or just hit Enter) and you'll lock your pc. This is the equivalent of your password protected screen saver activate, but you don't have to wait for the inactivity timer to expire. To unlock your workstation, simply do a Ctrl+Alt+Delete and type in your Novell account password.
Logout Of Your Account: clicking here is the equivalent of Start/Shut Down/Close all Programs and Logon as a Different User
Shutdown Your Computer: clicking here is the equivalent of Start/Shut Down/ Shut Down Your Computer
Change Your Novell Account Password: clicking here will bring up the Change Password dialog box, which looks something like this:
(Note: I couldn't get a screen capture of this dialog box, the above was created using MSPaint, and isn't an exact replica, but will give you an idea of what it looks like.)
Task List: clicking here gets you the Task List information, which applications are open (and which of these are actually running) and how hard your cpu is working to process the information you're requesting.
Note: You can also launch the task manager and then minimize it. You'll have a little "gas gauge" on your system tray (next to the time) so you can watch your cpu usage. This will look something like this:
