x:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe

You can go to start> run and type "taskmgr" without quotes, hit ctrl+alt+del once to bring up the security menu, or right click on the task bar, and click "task manager".

There are a couple of ways you could go about doing this:

1) Create a shortcut on your desktop for Task Manager. As Force Flow says the program "taskmgr.exe" is located in C:\Windows\System32. Once you have created the shortcut, simply open its properties, go to the "Shortcut" page and click on the Advanced button (look at the attached pic) and on the box that pops up, select "Run with different Credentials". Click OK twice to exit the dialog. From now on, every time you try to run the Task Managerfrom that shortcut, you will be prompted to run it as one of the users in the Run As login box. Choose "Administrator", enter the password and click OK.

2) From Command Line: From Start>Run (or press Windows Key+R), type CMD and click OK to open the COmmand Line Interface (like a DOS box).
Here type the following:

runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\administrator taskmgr

Enter the password for Administrator when pormpted, and you are good to go.

Syntax for Runas Command: RUNAS USAGE: RUNAS [ [/noprofile | /profile] [/env] [/netonly] ] /user: program RUNAS [ [/noprofile | /profile] [/env] [/netonly] ] /smartcard [/user:] program /noprofile specifies that the user's profile should not be loaded. This causes the application to load more quickly, but can cause some applications to malfunction. /profile specifies that the user's profile should be loaded. This is the default. /env to use current environment instead of user's. /netonly use if the credentials specified are for remote access only. /savecred to use credentials previously saved by the user. This option is not available on Windows XP Home Edition and will be ignored. /smartcard use if the credentials are to be supplied from a smartcard. /user should be in form USER@DOMAIN or DOMAIN\USER program command line for EXE. See below for examples Examples: > runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\administrator cmd > runas /profile /env /user:mydomain\admin "mmc %windir%\system32\dsa.msc" > runas /env /user:user@domain.microsoft.com "notepad \"my file.txt\"" NOTE: Enter user's password only when prompted. NOTE: USER@DOMAIN is not compatible with /netonly. NOTE: /profile is not compatible with /netonly.
