General TaskMan has 4 main views: Running applications, Start, System information and Processes. You can switch between them with left/right cursor keys or by selecting the needed view from 'View' menu. Running applications view Shows info about running applications. You can see currently running applications, switch to the needed application, get info about any running application, close an application or all applications at once. All applications displayed here are sorted by usage, more recently used ones are on top. Next to every application you can see its memory usage. Please note that some applications belong to one and the same executable (e.g. Contacts, Calendar, Tasks belong to poutlook.exe). Amount of memory usage for such applications is shown as their process memory usage. So if Contacts and Calendar show, say, 47kb each, it means that 47 kb is for both Contacts and Calendar. You can explore each application (window) and get various info about it. You can also spy into all child windows/controls it owns. Application launcher view Allows to start any installed application in some finger taps. Displays list of all applications. You can scroll down to start the needed application or just type its name (or part of it) to search for it and start. Here you can also get brief information about any application, like shortcut file name, where the application executable is located, command line used to start application, etc System information view Shows brief information about your device memory, device disk, memory card and battery.
Numbers left to gauges indicate amount of used memory/space.
Bold numbers right to gauges indicate remaining space or free memory.
Use "Memory information" and "Battery information" commands to get detailed information about device memory and battery. Processes view Shows all running processes and how much memory each process consumes. Explore each process and get various information about it, the modules the process uses, and spy into all windows the process owns. Here you can also end processes. When you end a process TaskMan tries to close it softly first and if it doesn't respond TaskMan offers you to terminate the process. Windows explorer tool In "Running applications" and "Processes" view you can spy into all its windows using "Windows list" command. This tool work similarly to Microsoft Spy++. Hardware keys You can assign different actions to hardware keys using "Menu->More->Hardware keys" command. Available actions:
Don't handle-Taskman doesn't map this key;

Hardware keys mapping works differently for PocketPC devices and Smartphone devices: MS Smartphone You can assign an action to long press of Home key only. TaskMan is required to be started for this key handler to work. As long as you assign an action you can press Home key and keep it pressed for more then 1.5 seconds to perform an action. Pocket PC Taskman detects and shows you all hardware buttons available for mapping actions. You can assign an action both to normal button press and long press (press and hold). All this mapping is being performed through system shell and taskman is not even required to run for the action to be performed. The system will automatically start TaskMan if needed.
