Customizing the Job Activity Monitor

Hey, all!
There is a lot of useful info in the various windows within SSMS. However, I
don't personally want to see all the columns and/or data in, say, the Job
Activity Monitor. Is there any way to customize the view by removing columns?
And, is there any way to get my column order and filters to "stick" once I close
SSMS? Thanks for your help.You can't really customize it, no. But the information it uses comes from
very simple queries against catalog views and DMVs in msdb (you can just set
up profiler to trace when you launch the activity monitor, and it will show
you the queries). You could probably build your own little win form GUI
pretty easily, with the functionality you want, using VB.Net or C#.
