Windows Vista Task Manager—How? “Remember to Milk”

Posted on 28 October 2008

Here is a good Task Manager for Vista.

Remember the Milk is one of the best websites out there. Sometimes the difficult task is that, one cannot do task list management from desktop.

While using Vista, you always wanted a sidebar gadget to interact with the task list from your desktop.

Then the folks at rememberthemilk.com put together an awesome blog post detailing alternative ways to interact with your task list in a bunch of different operating systems, but none of them either: were for Vista, or did what I wanted.

Here is step by step instruction given below to manage Windows Vista:

  • Get the gadget

    So you’re looking for a gadget called ‘Minibrowser’ which can be found at this link. Click download, install..install, and you’re good to go!  Add the gadget to your sidebar.

  • Login to Remember the Milk

    Fire up Internet Explorer (this is because Minibrowser uses IE for page rendering), and go to http://www.rememberthemilk.com and login.  Make sure to check the ‘remember me on this computer’ checkbox!

  • Point the gadget to the URL
    In the gadget’s address bar, set the url to: http://rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/googleig/
  • Customize the gadget
    Assuming nothing’s gone wrong, you should have your remember the milk task list on your Vista desktop now!  You’ll notice that you have a somewhat ugly address bar and some buttons…and status bar, but if you click on the settings icon for the gadget, you can turn all those pesky things off.  Also, there’s a tab called ’size’ which enables you to resize the gadget so you can get the optimum viewing of your RTM task list.
