removing columns from task manager via regedit or other means?

[arfett]

In my nlited xp 64 install I have secondary logon abilities removed which is what I think causes my column options to look like this and my task manager has the user name column which is empty and rather useless. Is there any other way to remove columns from task manager?

I take you mean this:

Go to View>Select Columns

Registry info for this is stored in hkcr. Export the whole key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager]

once you have customized task manager with columns, window sizing etc.

Hope this helped

As you can see from my screenshot, I can not customize my task manager

Could someone with XP x64 (or 32 bit if the registry keys are the same) modify their task manager columns to only have the following 4 boxes checked and then export their key and upload it?

CPU Usage

Memory Usage

Virtual Memory Size

Base Priority

If you do this for me then you are a super cool person.

You need image name, that's the process name

Ok...

I've enlarged the window size a bit, just if you want to have more process running.

Say if it works.

Ps 32-bit is the same as 64-bit in this case
