Is there a way to automatically start up the task manager (in this case, process explorer) when I log into Windows 7?

Right-click your desktop, go New -> Shortcut. Point the shortcut to the executable then drag it into the startup folder in the Start menu.

Use a login script to start taskmgr.exe or whatever executable you want. Or a scheduled task that is set to execute the chosen program upon system startup or user login.

OK. Did this with previous versions of Windows but it didn't work first time I tried it in Vista. Will try again in Win7. Now can I make it automatically restart if it gets closed? Or can I change the close button so that it minimizes to the tray instead of getting closed? Many programs do this but not TaskMan.
Thanks,

I've always done this, and then I change window to minimized in the shortcut's property to put it in the system tray directly. – Macke – 2011-01-02T11:05:21.800
