Ctrl+alt+del oddity

Having had to fully re-install Win XP home on a brand new drive, we find we no longer have all the googies that came with pressing Ctrl+alt+del , such as processor usage, list of running processes, graph of network usage etc. All there is is just the task manager window. Have googled to no avail. Thanks.

Nope. Another reason to choose an alternative OS.

I agree, try Linux. :) (Oh, and it's free too)

(The link I've given is for Ubuntu Linux, but there are plenty of other "Flavours" ('distribution') that all have their merit)
