 ==Uses==
 Task Manager is not a program used commonly, like a [[Web browser]], but is useful for diagnosing and solving problems.  It can even be used for hunting down malware.  It can also be used for every-day purposes, such as terminating a hung (frozen) program, or tweaking process priorities to optimize the system.
