Hidden task bar

[curator]

I sometimes discover that the task bar which is normally at the bottom of the
screen has disappeared. The only way I have found to restore it is to
re-boot. Is there a more direct way?

Presumably you have not chosen to Auto-hide the taskbar.

Have you tried pressing the logo key? That should bring up the Start
menu and the Taskbar.
