Access both Old and New Task Managers on Windows 8

In this article i will tell you how to access both old and new Task Manager in Microsoft window 8.
Windows 8 Task Manager looks very good, but it’s too much for us to start using it right away after installing Windows 8 Developer Preview, do you know you can still access Windows 7 style task manager on Windows 8 by creating a shortcut, below are the steps to do that.





Shortcut for Old Task Manager on Windows 8
1. Right-click on the desktop and browse for New>Shortcut
2. Type “taskMGR” and click “Next” give it the name whatever you want like “old task manager” and click “Finish” button.
3. Now you can open old task manager by clicking the shortcut on the desktop.




Now without disabling New Task Manager, we can now use both Task Managers at the same time by using this shortcut.
