Power up the Windows Task Manager with Task Manager Extension

Or you could install a third party addon like Task Manager Extension, which supercharges the default Task Manager. Once Task Manager Extension is installed, you'll start to notice changes in the Processes tab of the Windows Task Manager.

In order to install Task Manager Extension, you'll need to register for a CodeProject account, which takes just a few seconds. But you do have to give up your email address.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
