Using Task Manager
When Task Manager is first opened the dialog box shown below appears. It has four tabs. There is also a Users tab if you are using Fast User Switching. The default tab "Applications" is a list of the applications that are running in the foreground. These are programs that you can see on the desktop or on the taskbar and that are not running hidden in the background.
All the tab windows have information at the bottom showing the number of processes that are running, how much the CPU is being used, and how much memory resources are committed. The Applications window also has a button "New Task" in the lower right corner.

Make Apps Always Open Maximized
Make Apps Always Open Maximized
It can be annoying when opening an application and having to re-size or maximize the screen. This can be especially annoying when you want to see all of the data in an app like Access or Excel.
It can be annoying when opening an application and having to re-size or maximize the screen. This can be especially annoying when you want to see all of the data in an app like Access or Excel.
To fix it all you need to do is right-click on the application shortcut and select Properties. Under the Shortcut tab change the drop down next to Run to Maximized.
That’s it! Now any time you open that application it will be full screen.

Keep Start Menu Open and Open Applications
Keep Start Menu From Closing After Opening Applications
If you want to open more than one application without having to navigate through the whole start menu again, you can use a little-known trick to keep the start menu open after you click on an item.
Just hold down the shift key while you click on an item under the All Programs group, and you’ll notice the start menu stays up while the application loads in back of it. Notice how the notepad window has focus.

There are a few caveats (limits or restricts):
1. This only works on the All Programs menu if you are using the XP-style menu in XP.
2. This doesn’t work at all with the Vista-style start menu.
3. Works perfectly if you are using the Classic Start menu in either Vista or XP.
4. Some applications will demand focus
and make it close anyway.
