SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows NT version 3.x, you can start Task Manager by double- clicking the desktop. However, you cannot do so in Windows NT 4.0.



RESOLUTION
To start Task Manager in Windows NT 4.0, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and then click Task Manager.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
In Windows NT 4.0, the taskbar includes much of the functionality of Task Manager in previous versions of Windows NT. You can switch between tasks by clicking the appropriate button on the taskbar. To end a task, use the right mouse button to click the appropriate button on the taskbar, and then click Close.
