myneid, great job! I thought I had found and tried all the PPC Task Mangers, but you put me to shame.

I had tried Magic Button, but had dismissed it way too quickly; I didn't spend the enough to find out all it's strengths. Thanks to you, I'm gonna go back for a second look.

BTW, I'm using a combination of two task managers, True Toolbar 1.5 and Spb Pocket Plus: Pocket Plus is pretty good - the only reason I use True Toolbar is to have all the running programs show up on the bottom bar on the Today screen.

I liked Battery Pack, but with the Programs Today Plug-In activated, it really slowed down going back to the Today screen and introduced a lot of lag.
