The Windows Task Manger is a very useful utility. You can monitor memory, processor, and page file performance as well as manage the currently running processes and services. In addition to monitoring performance and managing applications, the Task Manager can open programs and navigate to specific areas of Windows. Built into the Task Manger is the Windows Run box. This allows you to use all of the same Run commands in the Task Manager.
Instructions
Press "Ctrl + Alt + Del" to load Task Manager. You can also press the shortcut keys "Ctrl + Shift + Esc," or "Right-click" on your Windows Task Bar and select "Start Task Manager." Click "File," then "New Task (Run...)." Type "Ncpa.cpl" and press "Enter." You can also type "control net connections." Both commands take you to the Network Connections component of the Control Panel.
Instructions
Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar to open the Start menu. Click Run to open a Run Dialog if you are using Microsoft Windows XP.

Press the Enter key on your keyboard to launch a DOS command prompt. Type Taskmgr or Taskmgr.exe into the command prompt window.
