Task Nanny is a locked down task manager for Citrix XenApp, Citrix XenDesktop, VMware View, RDS, Terminal Services or any other locked down desktop environments in which you do not want to expose the Microsoft Windows task manager to the end user.
Unlike other free alternative task managers, Task Nanny does not show the user a (for an end user hard to understand) list of his running processes. Instead, Task Nanny shows the user the actual tasks which the Microsoft Windows task manager application tab shows, which is a lot easier and more understandable for the user.
Task Nanny allows the end user to end his own hanging or not responding applications or tasks, without having the full functionality of the Microsoft Windows Task Manager and without seeing tasks that belong to other users.

Awesome tool, thank you!
Nice tool, it works well for admins, but here on W2K3 TS/Citrix servers, the screen starts to flicker as soon as normal users start it.
Hi Michel,
Can I ask how you wrote it? is it possible for it’s use to be logged?
This is a really useful tool
Thanks.
Sam
Hi Sam,
Task Nanny is written in C# and does not provide any functionality besides killing open windows, so unfortunately no logging.
