Run the Task Manager on startup. How?

Hi
I installed the final windows 8 from dreamspark. Now i always started the task manager automatically at the start up. I tried to do the same with windows 8 by adding a taskmgr.exe shortcut (located at c:\windows\system32) at the startup folder (c:\users\"username"\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\start
menu\programs\startup). Now the task manager can be seen in the startup tab in the taskmanager, but when i restart my computer, the task manager doesn't start.
Does anybody here know the solution to this problem?

Doesn't work me after these setting...............I don't know why? Can someone help me please?
Running Windows 8.1 with 4go DDR2 ram.
First, start Task Manager manually (Start,
taskmgr, Enter) and enable
Options->
Hide when minimized.
Then, in Windows Explorer, open following folder:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
If you want this to be active for all users, open this folder instead:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Now, right click on empty space, select New->
Shortcut. Type in
taskmgr, click
OKand Finish.
You are not done yet! Right click on new taskmgrshortcut, select
Properties. Now, in
Shortcuttab, configure
Run-> Minimized.
Now, reboot. After you switch to desktop again, make sure you configure
Control Panel->
Notification Area Iconssuch that
Windows Task Manageris set to
Show icon and notifications(default setting is
Only show notifications).

How can we launch Task Manager at Startup in Windows 8?

I want to be able to have the Task Manager start minimized in the SysTray when I start/log into Windows. I've been doing this since at least Windows XP, and maybe back to 2000 and NT4.
There is a good discussion on this at:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0065fc23-2578-4165-8f38-c22675ae33ad/run-the-task-manager-on-startup-how?forum=w8itproinstall
The conclusion appears to be that this can't be done. Is this true?
I understand the problem -- TaskManager wants to run with Admin rights if launched from an Admin account. But what if I just want to run it without admin rights, just like it would launch if my account were not an admin account, is that possible? Perhaps
one of the command line switches? I realize that would sacrifice some of the data, like HD usage, but that's OK. I just want the task list and the CPU usage graph. Ideally, like in Windows 7, there would be an option to "Show tasks for all users"
which I could then manually elevate the Task Manager to have admin-level access, but it's OK if it doesn't at launch.
Thanks,
Colin

You can launch Task Manager as an administrator by scheduling it to run as a
task upon user log on via Task Scheduler and to run with elevated permissions and/or Administrator credentials.
That sort-of worked. However, the CPU usage icon in the systray didn't appear unless I closed and manually re-opened the Task Manager, which actually adds a step at every startup versus just opening it manually.
Strangely, it seems if I add two Task Managers to start under the Task Scheduler (something I did by accident during my experimentation), the icon does appear, but clearly having 2 instances of Task Manager running at the same time is not appropriate either.
Is there a way to launch it from the Task Scheduler at startup/login, as you suggested, such that the CPU usage icon appears in the systray? Maybe it's just a question of getting the right settings in the Task Scheduler?

Every time i close firefox, to re-open it i have to either log out and log back in, or i have to go through the task manager and end the proccess, otherwise it just says fire fox if already running and it wont open, how do i fix this proble??

Everytime i am finished using Firefox, if i want to go back onto the internet, i now have to either log off and then log back on. or i have to use the task manager and close the firefox process, it is extrlmely annoying as i have to do it everytime, if i try and open firefor before i do either of what i have explained it just comes up with, firefox is allready running please close all windows to open a new one, or end the process...how do i stop this message from popping up every single time i use firefox????

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs#Hang_at_exit

After closing Firefox and trying to open a new session, I get periodic pop ups telling the program is still running. I open the task manager and close it, and everything's fine. What's the issue, and how do I get it to stop?

Problem doesn't happen every time, and I've tried to leave it alone to see if there's an update that needs to finish loading. After being left overnight, I still had to use the task manager to close the Firefox program. I have no idea what it's doing, and I'd like to know. Is Firefox taking over my computer so it can move on to my house, and then go on to rule the Tri State Area?

Firefox is running in the background, but the process can't be ended using the task manager?

The program wouldn't open because it was apparently still running in the background, so I restarted a few times which didn't help. Then I tried using the task manager to end the process but that didn't work either. Then opened the command prompt and used taskkill, then pskill (using the PID number) but neither worked. The problem wasn't with how I was using these commands as they could close any other program I had running, just not firefox.exe*32. Any ideas?

Two java.exe processes running in the Task Manager in Windows XP

I tried to find the best possible place to post this and after spending about 20 minutes searching for an appropriate forum starting from java.com I ended up here. So forgive me if the is a wrong place and if there?s a more appropriate place for my question, please provide a pointer to it.
I don't know much about java and what it does but as the title says when I open the Task manager there are two java.exe processes running at the same time with about 20 000 k each.
One of the processes is coming from:
C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya6.5\docs\jre\bin\java.exe
and the other from:
C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya7.0\docs\jre\bin\java.exe
in addition to that a jusched.exe process is also running coming from
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10\bin\jusched.exe
I rarely open the Maya 6.5 and 7 documentations but the two java.exe process are running all the time and I would like to stop them running when I don?t need them but I don?t know how.
I can't end these processes from the Task Manager; they reappear immediately after I end them.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I am trying to launch Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 but the application window isnt visible even though there is a firefox.exe process running in task manager.

I am trying to launch Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 but it isnt working. I try to launch it and the application window does not show. When I look at the task manager and then look at the Applications tab, Firefox isnt listed. If I go to the Processes tab, there is a firefox.exe*32 process listed. Each time I double click the Firefox icon, a new firefox.exe process is spawned but there is never a visible instance of the Firefox application.
There are no errors in the application logs. I end up just having to kill the processes.
I tried launching in safe mode by holding down the shift button but the same thing happens.
Any suggestions on what to try? It has never worked since upgrading from version 8. I tried un-installing and re-installing

I went through everything mentioned in the link you posed and nothing detailed there resolved the problem.
The Profile folder didnt exist so I created it. Made sure the perms were good and that it was not read only.
There are no default folders appearing under the profile folder when I start Firefox.
I have Firefox installed to my E drive.
Nothing happens. The process appears in the task manager but no application shows up.
Cant start it in safe mode, cant run the profile manager.

Firefox will not open, it is not running in the task manager, but when I click on the icon, it will not open a firefox screen.

I have tried uninstalling the program, so that i could re-install it, but during the uninstall it says i have to close the currently open firefox page, But there is no page opne. There is no page in the lower left corer of my screen, and when i opne task manger, it does not say that firefox is running. I have tried updateing firefox on the website, but during the update it says the same thing, that firefox is running, and i need to close it. I can not get firefox to opne, and i hate using internet explorer, PLEASE HELP!!

In the Task Manager, make sure to check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab. On the Processes tab, Firefox may have two different components running: firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe. Well, in 3.5.11, it would be only the first one.

Firefox closes when I shut down, but when it is running, I can't see it on the monitor or find it in the Task Manager.

When I open Firefox, nothing seems to happen. It doesn't appear on the monitor and the Task Manager doesn't list it as running. But when I shut down the computer, Firefox must be closed before shut down can be completed.

The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

Firefox window is not shown and not even in the tasks bar, but there is a process running in the task manager

Clicked on the Firefox icon , but window did not appeared, checked in the Task manager, there is a process running with firefox.exe, and could not see any icon in the task bar adjacent to start button

I discovered that when the "Firefox is already running . . . ." message pops up I can fix it by doing the following [note: I get the same message for the Thunderbird e-mail program too] : 1. I open 'TASK MANAGER" and click on the "Processes" tab. 2. Next I scroll down until I see Firefox.exe *32 in the leftmost column (or Thunderbird. exe *32 if the message came up there), highlight that line by clicking on it and then click on the "end process" button on the right side on the bottom. 4. A pop-up window will come up but ignore its message and click on the "end process" button in the pop-up window. The program should then start the next time you click on the icon..
While that saves the need to restart your PC to fix the problem, I have yet to find any information as to the reasons for those two processes to show up in the first place. I'm running the 64 bit Win 7 Professional and do not know if that has something to do with those two processes running from time to time or not. The message comes up often but not all the time and I haven't been able to pinpoint any action on my part where the message comes up if I do '''X '''or the message never comes up when I do '''Y''' before closing Firefox or Thunderbird.

With firefox not running, I cannot upgrade as my computer thinks it is still running. Firefox.exe does not appear in the task manager.

I seem to be able to start Firefox only once after I reboot my computer. After that it will not start. I tried upgrading the software using Internet Explorer to get the upgrade file. The installation failed when the computer said I needed to close Firefox to install the upgrade. The task manager didn't show firefox on the list as one of the processes and it wasn't running anywhere on my machine.

Hanging at exit is most frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin.
'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?

[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

How to close Acrobat.exe from the task manager processes through plug-in?

I have a plug-in in which we have a functionality of defining some keys and they are displayed as annotations on the PDF. Now, if the user defines such a key, an annot (i.e.a rectangular box) gets displayed on the PDF and if the user does not click custom menu say 'Close Key' then annot remains visible on the PDF.
My problem is if in such a case i.e. the user has defined a key & if the user does not hit 'Close Key' and instead closes Acrobat by directly hitting close (i.e. [X] button at top right corner), then Acrobat exits; but the Acrobat.exe remains running in the Processes.
If the user tries to open the same PDF again then a message pops up saying 'Cannot open file for viewing as its already in use...'.
Note that any other PDF gets opened fine.
Could somebody help me in giving me any ideas/suggestions on this? I want to exit the acrobat.exe from the processes so that the same PDF could get opened. As described above, the cause is the key (annot) was opened and user abrubtly exited Acrobat. Is there a way, that we could catch this Acrobat exit event in the plug-in? That way, I'd be able to clear off the annot (key) and then close acrobat.
Please let me know asap.

Hey, tnx for ur response! But, the issue is reproducible on Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
I do have the 'WillClose' event registered in my plug-in. Below is the event that is wired up with 'WillClose' event:-
static
ACCB1 void ACCB2 NotifyAVWillClose (AVDoc doc, void *clientData){
UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(clientData);
UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(doc);
CloseTemplate(TRUE);
The 'CloseTemplate' method performs the closing of the annotation, clearing of objects and deleting the PDFfile class pointer.
And this all works fine with Acrobat.exe getting closed from the task manager processes in acrobat versions 8 & 9. However, in Acrobat 7.0, the process remains in the Task Manager.
Could you suggest any ideas on what else needs to be implemented to end the process in Acrobat 7?
Thanks!

How do I reset Firefox if I am not able to open the application after ending it on the task manager?

We changed the privacy options on firefox, closed the program, and now we are not able to open it. We have ended the process on the task manager, but it still will not open. We tried to uninstall it but it won't even let us do that. I've read lots of articles on how to reset firefox, but it isn't helpful when i can't get into firefox to try it.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Sometimes Firefox will not open, telling me, it is already running. It does not show in the task manager and the only solution is to reboot.

Firefox is running. I close the program. I try to reopen it. I get an error message: Firefox is already running. It does not show in the task manager, nor anywhere else. I can not close the old version, nor start a new one. I have to reboot.

Did you look in the Processes tab in the Task Manager?
