Stupid question

Here's a stupid problem I'm having, and I'm not quite sure why I can't figure it out. As a new WinXP user, I'm not familiar with everything yet. When I used to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, I would see a small screen showing CPU Usage (%) and various other info....now when I press it, I only see applications that are currently open. How can I revert back to the original screen I was seeing?

Thanks for your help.

There are little tabs at the top of that window.

I don't see any tabs on the top of mine. I simply see a large grey rectangles with the words "Task" and "Status" at the top, and on the bottom, 3 buttons reading End Task, Switch To, and New Task. There are NO TABS.

I know what you're talking about, because that's the screen I used to have. If no one here believes me, I'd be glad to post a screen shot. I'm sure there's some way to switch back to the screen I was viewing a while ago upon pressing CTRL ALT DELETE.

Double-click the grey border

You're welcome, and don't feel stupid, we all had to learn this stuff at some point in time. Some of it the hard way
