Windows XP Professional Task Bar

[Guest]

I recently lost the task bar that shows which programs are active. I still
have the start-up buttons and the quick launch. I'm just missing the
programs that I've selected to work with.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did it get dragged to a smaller size?
Look for a separator bar | close to QL or the Systray.
Place your pointer over it so it becomes a double pointer.
Drag the Bar | over to enlarge the Taskbar.

I've got the same problem as Denny.

Just yesterday, my taskbar disappeared entirely. I was just updating my
Adobe Reader (from version 6 to 7), and I had to restart my PC. Right after
logging back into my account, my taskbar was gone! Just gone, no error
messages, no program crashes, not even a sound notification of soemthing
wrong. I checked to see if it was minimized (i usually keep it locked
anyways), and checked if it was in auto-hide. Nothing.

I'm currently running Windows XP Home on my laptop (Compaq Presario
M2105CA). My laptop hasn't acted weird lately, so I don't know what would be
the culprit here...

Hello, it's me again. Please disregard my previous post. I don't know what
happened, but my taskbar has magically re-appeared. All I did this time was
run a virus scan with the Norton that came with my laptop: it detected a
"backdoor" something and said it had successfully removed it from my computer
and suggested a reboot to make sure. After logging back into my user account,
my taskbar was there again!

I guess it was the "backdoor" virus causing my troubles. Sorry to bother you
with my useless post above.
