My Tiny Footprint is frozen

undyingkingQuite a weird situation just now where my Task Manager (in XP) lost its menus, tabs, and the stuff at the bottom. I assumed it was the manifestation of some hideous system error, but no, apparently it's deliberate and is called Tiny Footprint mode. You can toggle in and out of it by double-clicking on the border of the Task Manager window. Why anyone would want to I'm not sure, as it's a bit of a misnomer -- "About 90% of the Usual Footprint but with Vastly Reduced Functionality" would be a better name for this mode.
Presumably I double-clicked on it by accident at some point and didn't notice. Well, if it happens to you, you know now. Or if you knew about it already, or are unnerved by the mere mention of Task Manager, please retrospectively ignore this post...
