commandtask-managerwindows
I am trying to have task manager open on the Performance tab on startup on Windows 8, 8.1, and 2012 machines. I have gotten the task manager to open, but it always does so on the Processes tab and not the Performance tab. Can someone please help me?
I am using a cmd batch file with the following snippet to open the task manager stored in the startup folder.
start C:\Windows\System32\taskmgr.exe
exit
If you have powershell installed, the following will get you a list of running applicaitons when run locally
gps | ? {$_.mainwindowtitle.length -ne 0} | select name, mainwindowtitle
If you have Powershell V2 installed on the machines you want to query, and remoting enabled, you can then run:
invoke-command –computername <remote computer name>
{gps | ? {$_.mainwindowtitle.length -ne 0} | select name, mainwindowtitle}

You can't really do this, as taskmgr.exe does not accept any arguments.
Having said that, someone over on StackOverflow whipped up some code you could use if you wanted to compile it into a small .NET program. Seems like more trouble than it's worth to me, but your call.
