Monitor CPU Usage

http://www.Extreme-Days.com http://www.TheModelShip.com Hello again, this is Kyle with www.Extreme-Days.com and today I have a cool little tip for everyone. If you're not a geek, then this probably won't mean a whole you, but it can provide you with some very useful information. If you have ever pressed: "ctrl+alt+delete" and chosen "task manager" then you know that you can monitor your cpu usage and all of the programs and applications currently running on your computer. Most people only use this when their computer freezes up and they don't know what else to do to unfreeze it. Sometimes it is very useful to have a shortcut to this, either on you're desktop or in you're quick launch bar, but this can be difficult to accomplish if you aren't very computer savvy. Now this is the part where I come in and teach you how to do this little task in a matter of 20 seconds. That being said, lets get started with this!

First off, you are going to need to go to your desktop. I do this by using the keyboard shortcut, "windows key+D". If you don't know what the windows key is, it is in the bottom left of your keyboard right between ctrl and alt. Just hold that key down and press the D key on your keyboard at the same time, and you're computer will minimize everything and show your desktop. Now you need to right click on a blank spot and go to the tab that says, new, and then click on the tab that says, shortcut. This will pop a box on your screen that says, "This wizard helps you to create shortcuts, to local or network programs, files, folders, computers, or Internet addresses. Type the location of the item." Below that there will be a box where you can submit text into. Click in the box and type, "taskmgr.exe" and then ...
