It's getting to be a real pain in the ass. Sure I can delete tasks but I can't get rid of this damned thing without selecting a program and hitting "Switch to...", and it still doesn't go away, rather minimizes.

SOLUTION!:
Step 1: Pick up sledgehammer
Step 2: Hit monitor with sledge hammer
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 until the problem has dissapeared
Step 4: Go make a sandwich
Step 5: Take 2 tylenol
Step 6: Go to bed
Step 7: Feel better in the morning

It's to purdyfy a graph only look if you were monitoring stuff while they run.

Well, there wasn't any existing Task Managers for microsoft to rip-off, so when they had to design their own utility, this happened.

You could always reboot your computer.
