Ralph from FL asks:
What’s the quickest way to the Task Manager?
All about speed, eh? Well, the quickest and easiest way to get to your Windows Task Manager is simply to right-click an empty area of your Task Bar and choose “Start Task Manager”.

Ta-da! An instant view of what your system is doing!
Of course, there are some that would argue that Ctrl+Shift+Esc is even faster, but I’ll leave that up to you to decide.
