Windows does not show applications that can be seen in the Task manager

[musicgold]

Hi,

The following is the problem I am facing: When I login into my machine, I don’t see any applications/tasks running. However, when I check my taskmanager I can see that the machine has instances of Excel , Internet Explorer and Outlook running.

Note that this is not a virus problem. I have a scheduled task that opens these applications every morning before I log into my machine. The scheduled tasks works fine, but the application it starts are invisible to me when I
log in.

What can I do to make windows explorer show those tasks?

Thanks,

MG.

System: Windows XP, 2002 Professional, Service Pack 3

First delete your schedule task and after that check that your problem is solved or not. Please install avast anti virus and check that any virus is detected or not. If these process slows down your computer then you can manually delete these processes using task manager. You have to just select that process and click on end process.

Hi,

This is all because you started then you logged it. Try to change it when you log in, instead of when computer starts.

Hope it will work

As per your information you have said that you have a scheduled task that opens Excel , Internet Explorer and Outlook running every morning.I think in scheduled tasks there must be setting for visibility or invisibility of application that you may have make invisible .For this reason you are not able to see this application.So I suggest you to make that setting to make it visible.
I think this will help you.

Hi friend,

It's a strange,I think you have scheduled the task before you logged it,
To make the task invisible you will have to change this to when you login
