Task Manager memory graph changes

Anyone notice that in Win2000, task manager display a graph of physical
memory usage, in XP it was changed to page file usage and Win7 back to
physical memory. Don't know about vista since I never really messed with it.

FYI: In Win7's task manager's "Performance" tab, click the "resource
monitor" button for lots more real-time info and graphs. to flip through.

Is there a way to create a desktop shortcut for Task Manager? Dragging
it from Start does not work.

Right-click on your Desktop > New > Shortcut
Copy and paste this into the box:
C:\Windows\System32\taskmgr.exe
Next > Finish.

I went one step further and added a shortcut in the startup folder

Right click task bar select Start task manager will be just as quick and can
be done when an open window hids the Desktop

Ctrl-Shift-Esc works here. It's the standard shortcut.

I learned about it on one of the Windows newsgroups :)

How about CTRL - SHIFT - ESC on your keyboard.
No need to click anything.
