I need to amend my own post, as some things have changed…įirst off, do NOT replace the 32-bit version of VMMap.exe with the 64-bit version! Just leave the 32-bit version in place, and run it normally. That will create the key without you having to use the Regedit – Replace “C:\Program Files\Sysinternals\procexp.exe” with the path to wherever Process Explorer is installed on your system. REG ADD “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe” /v Debugger /t REG_SZ /d “C:\Program Files\Sysinternals\procexp.exe” Open the command window and type the following (all one line): Simply go to the Start Menu, and in the search box type “cmd”. Instead of running Regedit, finding the key and modifying it, you can use the command line registry command. So, trying to run the task manager did nothing. I just tried it, and instead of pointing to Process Explorer, the Task Manager key in question became: Unfortunately, as mentioned above, that doesn’t work correctly.

Or, if you want to go forward and actually replace the task manager, then set the value of the debug key with the location of your process explorer executable. To go back the way things were you just need to remove the “Debugger” key. Mine showed something like ” ^ $ ^”.Ĭheck it out under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe Not sure exactly why but what’s happened is that a registry key for task manager has now been created with a debugger key that has a garbage value. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.”įor me, going back in Process Explorer to uncheck the above option shows that it’s not checked, and clicking it again doesn’t do anything at all. “Windows cannot find ‘C:\Window\System32\taskmgr.exe’. It *should* be as simple as clicking “Options > Replace Task Manager” in the Process Explorer window but then, when you try to invoke the Task Manager (now supposedly Process Explorer) you get a message indicating that I recently was introduced to Windows’ Process Explorer and liked it enough to want to replace Window’s native task manager with it. Otherwise you still get the “cannot find” message. It turns out that the Procexp64.exe exists ONLY while Process explorer is running. 21 commentsĪrchives Archives Categories Categories Housekeeping
