The Windows Task manager is a pretty decent tool. However, by default it gives you a lot of information and options. In a Terminal Server environment, you might not want to have all those options available to your users. For example, the Set Priority option when right-clicking on a process in the processes tab isn’t an option you want your users to have.

To be able to let users safely use Task Manager, Login Consultants has created a very much stripped Task Manager, called TS Task Manager. The TS Task Manager was created using ResHacker.

This TS Task Manager basically only allows users to use the applications tab. Everything else is disabled (or can not be used). The download is an .msi file which installs the TS Task Manager into Program Files\Login Consultants\TS Task Manager. This way it is installed into the same directory as the other Login Consultants tools (if you have them installed).
