TASKMGR options (tabs) missing

TASKMGR just came up showing only the "CPU Usage" and "CPU Usange History"
windows and nothing else. No tabs or list menu. Only way to shut it down =
[alt]f4.

How can I restore it to its original state?

Many bonus point if you send a copy of your reply to

Hi Alexander,

Sounds like your Task Manager is in what is called "Tiny Footprint" mode.
Double-click anywhere in the outer border area of the window and then the
tabs for the other options will return.

Lol. You can double click anywhere on the border... top, bottom, left,
right, corners, it doesn't matter where so long as it's on the border.

How would one replicate the problem of putting the Task Manager in Tiny
Footprint Mode where to then resolve it you would have to double-click
*exactly* on the red spot to return it to full size? Is this particular
condition caused by malware? I have Windows NT4, 2000, XP Pro, Server
2003 and I cannot replicate this on any of these machines, I'm a bit
curious as to the occurrence of this specific condition, this is the
first time I see this particular condition reported. All Microsoft
articles regarding Tiny Footprint instructs users to double click
anywhere on the Top border, my findings have been that you can click
just about anywhere on the Task Manager to switch modes.

Barry1210 was not double-clicking on correct location that is why I pointed
out the link where a Red Circle indicate atleast one correct location. If you
read my discussion with Barry, you will know that he doesn't come up with a
solution in First attempt and said "You were correct. I was not clicking in
the correct spot."
