Cool, you should put some more on here!
Useful information! There have been times when I was trying to access task manager and it was blocked by rogue software but now that I know this will work I have an alternate option.
you can also locate systeminfo.exe through your start menu, but I usually use cmd prompt anyway Smile
Useful information, OP. Will try to explore them and find something interesting.
