On the bottom of your keyboard should be a button next to the ALT button that
looks like the Window logo, or something like it. If you push it, the start
menu should appear. Also, on the taskbar, once you get the start and taskbar
to pop up, is a quicklaunch button that is for showing the desktop. It looks
like a white circle with a blue square in the middle of the circle and a
pencil with the point touching the center of the square. Also, if you hover
over the button, it should say ´Show Desktop´. If the button isn´t there,
you can navigate to it by going to something like this: C:\Documents and
Settings\YOUR USER NAME HERE\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch. Other than that, we need more information on what else
is happening to assist you.

What ASANGA wrote is true, if you understand it. If your taskbar is in
'Auto-Hide', your start menu/taskbar will hide below the bottom of your
screen. If moving your mouse to the bottom doesn't fix it, move your mouse to
the bottom and see if the cursor changes from a diagonal arrow, (normal,) to
a doublesided up and down arrow. If so, that means your taskbar is set too
low to pop up. While your double-sided arrow is showing at the bottom, push
and hold your left mouse button and drag the arrow up which will make your
taskbar taller. Let go of the button when it is at a height that you like.
Then, if you don't want the taskbar to automatically disappear when you move
the mouse off of it, right click on the taskbar and go to properties. There
you will see a variety of items you can change like "Auto-Hide the taskbar"
and "Hide Inactive Icons". You should also not lock the taskbar so that you
can change it when you want. The choice is yours.
Hope that helps. If not, post a reply and let us know what it's still doing
when you try that.
