Task Manager Menu Bar and Tabs Are Not Visible in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] US;q314227
This behavior may occur if Task Manager is running in Tiny Footprint mode. If you
double-click the empty space in the border around the tabs, Task Manager switches to
this mode.
To switch Task Manager to its typical display mode, double-click the top border of
the window.
