Lost Task Bar Button Section, PLZ help

[Guest]

Task bar looks fine, but missing the button section between quick launch bar
and Lauguage bar which is that when u run a program or open IE, always a blue
rectangle box in task bar. When i unlock task bar, i only see 2 separators,
not 3 like usual. Also i've enlarged task bar, still can't find the lose
separatorand the task bar button section. So once i minimize IE or something,
need to use crtl + alt + delete to switch back to those. Please help me,
guys, thank you very much!

Alt/Tab will let you switch between running tasks.

I suspect that this registry fix will take care of your problem too.
